NAWAB SINGH.J (ORAL) This revision is directed against the judgment dated March 31st, 2001 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Bhiwani affirming the judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated November 3rd, 1999 of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Charkhi Dadri whereby petitioners were convicted under Section 365 IPC and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of three years and to pay fine of Rs.700/- with default stipulation. Allegations against the petitioners, inter-alia, are that they also boarded the auto rickshaw in which the complainant was and did not allow her to get down. Learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that he does not challenge the conviction and prays for reduction of the sentence on the grounds that, (i) Ram Ratti who was allegedly kidnaped was the wife of Jai Kishan-petitioner No.1 and Jai Bhagwan-petitioner No.2 is brother of Jai Kishan; (ii) she has re- married with Jai Narain; (iii) petitioners have undergone actual sentence of 3 months and 25 days. Criminal Revision No.739 of 2001 2 4. The aforesaid circumstances are of mitigating nature and justify the request made. Hence, this Court upholds the conviction of the petitioners but reduces the sentence to the period already undergone by them. 5. The revision is accepted partly as indicated above. 3.2.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) SN JUDGE
