IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.1587 of 2009 UPENDRA SAH, S/o Ganeshi Sah, R/o Vill. Dilawarpur, P.S. Baheri, Dist. Darbhanga Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ----- 3/ 30.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This revision petition is pressed on the point of sentence only referring that petitioner though husband remained in custody for the period near about four months i.e. 08.01.1998 to 18.03.1998 and 05.10.2009 till today. Allegation of torture or cruelty is of simple nature, demand of she-buffalo and one colour television leveled against the petitioner. In reality, the complainant deserted this petitioner and now, she married with some other person. The case was only filed to pressurize this petitioner which the petitioner failed to satisfy the Trial Court and the Appellate Court. Petitioner is sentenced for three years for the offence under Section 498A and one year under Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act but sentences are to run concurrently. Taking the discussed suggested circumstances into consideration, I am of the view that the petitioner is entitle for liberal view on the point of sentence. He has already remained in custody for near about four months. So, that appears sufficient towards his sentence for both the offences. Accordingly, the sentence is reduced to the period undergone and the petitioner is directed to be released forthwith in 2 connection with Trial No. 539 of 2004/G.R. No. 1093 of 1996 pending in the Court of S.D.J.M. Darbhanga. With such modification, the revision petition is partly allowed affirming the conviction recorded by the Trial Court as well as Appellate Court. Let the order be communicated through F.A.X. at the cost of the petitioner in connection with Tr. No. 539 of 2004/G.R. No.1093 of 1996 in the Court of S.D.J.M., Darbhanga. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to make necessary correction in the prayer portion of the petition. Such permission is allowed. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
