(ORAL) This petition has been filed against the judgment and order dated 18.11.2005 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurdaspur convicting the petitioner under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act and against the judgment and order dated 26.08.2010 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge C.R.R. No.2487 of 2010 (O&M) -2- (Adhoc), Fast Track Court, Gurdaspur affirming the conviction order of the petitioner. The petitioner, who is present in person, has paid an amount of `1 lakh by way of a demand draft to learned counsel for the respondent in the Court. Now the dispute between the parties stands settled. In view of the fact that the petitioner has already under- gone more than 15 days imprisonment out of the total sentence, I deem it appropriate, even while retaining the conviction, to reduce the sentence of the petitioner to that he has already undergone. Ordered accordingly. The petitioner is on bail. Bail bond shall stand discharged. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) January 27, 2011 JUDGE ashish
