The trial court on the accused pleading guilty invoked Section 3 of the Probation of Offenders Act and ordered to pay a compensation of Rs.5,000/-. 2. In view of the fact that the complainant has to be compensated for the loss sustained by him, I find that the order of the court below cannot be sustained. The same is set aside. The matter is remitted back to the court below for fresh disposal on merits after permitting the parties to adduce evidence in the matter. The criminal revision petition is allowed. The matter is posted before the court below on 16/11/2007.
