Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Secunderabad.

Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Secunderabad, and the learned Sessions Judge, after re-appreciation of the material available on record, dismissed the appeal, while upholding the conviction and sentence recorded by the learned Magistrate, by judgment dated 07.06.2005. Challenging the same, the present revision is filed. Heard. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioner 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 petitioner. In view of the said submission, this Court is of the view that merits of the prosecution case and the impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. Admittedly, the offence took place in the year 1998 and for all these years the petitioner suffered humiliation. It is represented that the petitioner is the sole breadwinner of his family and has to look after the welfare his family members. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience against the petitioner. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed and the sentence of imprisonment is modified to that of the period already undergone by the petitioner. As far as the fine is concerned, apart from the fine of Rs.1,000/- imposed by the trial Court, the petitioner is directed to pay additional fine of Rs.9,000/- (Rupees Nine thousand only) before the trial Court within a period of two months, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for two months. In all other respects, the impugned judgment stands confirmed. With the above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 27th April, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.993 OF 2005 DATE:27.04.2011 Between : R.
