This is an appeal by the State for enhancement of sentence imposed against the Respondent who is the original Accused No.2. The Original Accused No.2 was in the custody from 23.11.1998. The judgment was pronounced on 20.2.2001. The learned Trial Court was pleased to sentence the present Respondent for a period of three years and to pay a fine of Rs.20,000/- under Section 20(b)(i) of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985. 2. In so far as the issue of enhancement is concerned, considering the fact that the Accused has already under gone the punishment imposed and that the application for leave to appeal itself came to be heard today when it was filed in the year 2001 and more so, considering the punishment imposed, in our -:2:- opinion, this is not a fit case to grant leave to appeal at this stage. Hence, the application for leave to appeal is rejected. (F.I. (F.I. (F.I. REBELLO, J.) REBELLO, J.) REBELLO, J.) (K.U. (K.U. (K.U. CHANDIWAL,J.) CHANDIWAL,J.) CHANDIWAL,J.)
