Crl. Rev. No. 2974 of 2010 2 Custody certificate handed over in Court today, is taken on record. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner does not challenge the conviction of the petitioner and submitted that the petitioner is in jail w.e.f. 9.10.2010. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. The sword of Damocles is not to hangover the head of the petitioner for all times to come. He has suffered mental agony due to registration of this criminal case against him. The petitioner has already undergone sentence for more than four months. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of this case while maintaining the conviction of the petitioner, the petitioner is sentenced to undergo sentence for the period already undergone by him in this case. However, order passed by both the Courts below qua fine shall remain intact. The petitioner be released forthwith, if not required in any other case. With above mentioned modification in the matter of sentence, this revision petition is dismissed. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 25.02.2011 sk.
