Heard. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner-appellant has already suffered 4½ years and the sentence imposed on the co-accused was already reduced to four years. This is a case where both the courts below gave concurrent findings and convicted the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the conviction. Accordingly, the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court and as confirmed by the Appellate Court as far as the appellant is concerned, is hereby confirmed. However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also long period of detention suffered by the petitioner-appellant, the sentence of imprisonment imposed by the trial Court and confirmed by the appellate court is reduced to four years. As far as the fine amount and other aspects are concerned, they stand unaltered. With the above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is allowed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 13th September 2011 Rns
