This appeal has been filed against the judgment dated 09/10/2006 passed in S.T.No. 58/06 by learned Additional Judge to the Court of First Additional Sessions Judge Gwalior (F.T.C) convicting the appellant-accused for the offence punishable under Section 324 of IPC and sentenced to undergo with R.I. for three years and fine Rs.1000/-. Appellant was in custody during trial from11.11.2005 to 24.05.2005 which is more than six months. Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that he is challenging only the sentence awarded by the trial Court which is excessive. Considering the nature of offence and period which has already undergone and considering the fact that there is no criminal antecedent of the appellant, the period already undergone is sufficient to meet the ends of justice. Therefore, appeal is partly allowed maintaining the conviction of the appellant, his sentence is reduced to already undergone. (Anil Sharma) Judge mani/-
