Cr.A. No. 252 of 2002 25.2.2009 Present: Mr. P.M. Negi, Deputy Advocate General, for the appellant. Respondent-Convict Kanta Devi is produced in the custody of Lady Constable Babita Kumari No. 480, HHC Rajinder Singh No. 128, under the supervision of ASI Chet Ram of Police Station, Pachhad, District Sirmour. Mr. Chaman Negi, counsel for respondent-convict. Respondent-convict has been heard on the question of the quantum of sentence. She says that now there has been a conciliation between her and her mother-in-law Kanta Devi and that her mother-in-law lives with her and her husband. She has produced a writing ‘Mark-CI’ purported to have been executed by her mother-in-law, per which, now her mother-in-law does not seek any punitive action against her. Looking into the facts and the circumstances of the case, as also the fact that the incident had taken place about eight years back, I take a lenient view and sentence the respondent-convict to undergo imprisonment till the rising of the court, in respect of both the offences of which she has been convicted and to pay a fine of Rs. 1000/- in respect of offence, under Section 324 IPC and another sum of Rs. 1000/- for the offence, under Section 451 IPC. The amount of fine, in full, shall be paid to Kanta Devi, the injured by way of compensation. A copy of this order alongwith a copy of judgment Cr. A. No. 252 of 2002 dated December 26, 2008 be given to the respondent-convict, free of cost. February 25, 2009(vs) (Surjit Singh) J.
