Heard. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioners by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments to the extent of imposition of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence on the petitioners. In view of the said submission, this Court is of the view that merits of the Prosecution case and impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. Admittedly, the offence took place in the year 2004 and for all these years the petitioners suffered humiliation and also stigma in the society. It is represented that the petitioners are the sole breadwinners of their respective families and have to look after the welfare their family members. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience against the petitioners. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed. However, considering the circumstances of the case, the sentence of imprisonment alone is set aside and in all other respects including the fine amounts, the impugned judgments stand confirmed. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 01.10.2010 sur
