The learned counsel for the petitioner, after arguing for some time, confined his argument only in connection with the sentence imposed by the courts below. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the offence took place in the year 2000 and that ever since the date of offence, the petitioner is under humiliation. Learned counsel further submitted that the petitioner is the only bread-winner in his family and he has to look after his children and, hence, prayed to take a lenient view in imposing the sentence. Considering the above submissions, the sentence of imprisonment imposed by the courts below is modified. The petitioner is directed to pay an amount of Rs.3,000/- for an offence punishable under Sections 304-A and 500 rupees for an offence under Section 429 IPC and the petitioner is directed to pay the said amount within three months from the date of the copy of the order made ready. However, the other findings of the lower appellate Court need no interference. With the above modifications, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 25th June, 2010. PNV
