This is revision against the judgment dated 01.02.2011 passed by the Additional sessions Judge, Sri Muktsar Sahib, vide which, the appeal filed by the petitioner against the judgment dated 19.02.2010 passed by the JMIC, Muktsar, convicting the petitioner, was dismissed. While praying for setting aside the aforesaid judgments passed by the Courts below, learned counsel for the petitioner contended that no offence under Section 406 IPC was made out. There was no sufficient evidence to prove the guilt of the petitioner and the allegation against the petitioner was motivated. There were also material discrepancies in the prosecution evidence. Heard. CRR No. 955 of 2011 2 From the perusal of the judgment dated 01.02.2011 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Sri Muktsar Sahib, it is evident that the petitioner along with his counsel made a statement that he does not want to argue the case on merits and submitted his arguments only on the point of quantum of sentence. While accepting the prayer of the petitioner and his counsel, the sentence of the petitioner was reduced from two RI years to one and half year for an offence punishable under Section 406/498A IPC. Thus, the present revision petition is not maintainable on merits and is accordingly dismissed. Lenient view has already been taken by the Additional Sessions Judge, Sri Muktsar while reducing the sentence of the petitioner from RI two years to one and half year. Dismissed.
