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 2002 and that ever since the date of offence, the petitioner is under humiliation and he has also undergone three months imprisonment during the pendency of the appeal. 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, he 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 to three months as far as the offence under Section 304(A) IPC is concerned and the period of imprisonment already undergone shall be set off. However, the fine amount of Rs.3,000/- imposed by the courts below is enhanced to Rs.10,000/-. The petitioner is directed to pay the difference amount of Rs.7,000/- within three months from the date of the copy of the order made ready. As far as the offences under Sections 338 and 337 IPC are concerned, the sentence of imprisonment is set aside. However, imposition of fine for the said offences is not interfered with. With the above modifications, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 22ND June, 2010. PNV
