Heard. After arguing for sometime, learned counsel for the petitioner by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments only to the extent of imposition of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence on the petitioner. This is a case where both the courts below gave concurrent findings and convicted the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the conviction imposed on the petitioner. In any event, taking into consideration the fact that the case is pending from the year 2000, and in view of the lapse of time, this court is of the view that there is no need to send the petitioner to prison. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience against the petitioner in imposition of sentence. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed. However, the sentence of imprisonment is hereby modified by imposing fine of Rs.1500/- for the offence punishable under Section 304-A IPC and further the sentence of imprisonment for the offence under Section 337 IPC is also modified to that of imposing fine of Rs.500/- payable within a period of eight weeks from today. On failure, the petitioner shall suffer simple imprisonment for a period of three months for both the aforesaid offences. With the above modifications, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date:17.06.2011 Rns
