The petitioner is ready to compensate the victim. Considering the fact that the petitioner is not a previous convict and the first offender, subject to deposit of Rs.10,000/- in the trial Court, within 15 days from today which shall be paid to the victim, the sentence awarded to the petitioner is reduced to the period already undergone and he shall be released forthwith by the trial Court. It is made clear that if the payment of compensation is not deposited, the petitioner may be required to complete his sentence C.C.as per rules. ( M. C. GARG ) JUDGE RJ/
