1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRI. REVISION APPLICATION NO. 204 OF 2010 Sanjay Govardhanlalji Sharma, Aged 38 years, Occupation Business, R/o Rukhmini Nagar, Near Jaishri Hospital, Jalna, Taluka and District Jalna Applicant V E R S U S The State of Maharashtra Respondent Mr. Joydeep Chatterji, Advocate for the applicant Mr. T.S. Lodhe, APP for the respondent / State CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 20th September, 2010 ORAL ORDER This revision is moved challenging the concurrent findings recorded by the Courts below that the applicant had committed offence punishable under Section 279 of the Indian Penal Code, for which he was asked to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three months and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- with default clause. Though the applicant was previously convicted for the offence punishable under Section 337 of the Indian Penal Code, that conviction was set aside by the lower Appellate Court. The learned Advocate appearing for the applicant fairly conceded that he would not press the revision on merits, but he would seek order of the Court for reduction of the substantive sentence. I am inclined to accept this request for the following reasons. The incident took place long back in 2003. The case is pending since then. The applicant was 31 years old when the accident took place. He was the owner of the Car, which was involved in the 2 accident. The Car too sustained extensive damage. The applicant is a businessman and stays at Jalna. In view of these mitigating circumstances, I am inclined to reduce the substantive sentence of the applicant to the period he is already undergone in the custody. He was in custody on two occasions, and the total period he was in custody, is 15 days. In my view, the application deserves to be allowed partly. Without disturbing the impugned Judgment of conviction of the learned Sessions Judge, Jalna, dated 2nd August, 2010, I am reducing the substantive sentence to the period already undergone. (A.V.
