RANJIT SINGH, J. (Oral) The petitioner is accused of having beaten his father. Alongwith the petitioner, lady members of family were also proceeded against. The Appellate Court justifiably took into consideration the case of ladies and directed their release on probation. The petitioner was convicted and sentenced to undergo RI for 2 years for an offence under Section 325 IPC but the Appellate Court reduced the same to a period of one year RI. Counsel for the petitioner, still, prays for some more leniency. The counsel submits that the petitioner sincerely repents his conduct and undertakes not to indulge in any dispute with father in future. The petitioner has already undergone about 4 months rigorous imprisonment out of the sentence as imposed. Criminal Revision No.2130 of 2011 -2- Taking into account the repentness shown by the petitioner, a case for further leniency may be called for. The sentence imposed is reduced to a period of RI for 9 months. The revision petition is otherwise dismissed. 14.12.2011 (RANJIT SINGH) rajeev JUDGE
