TO JUDGE K.R.UDAYABHANU, J --------------------------------------------- Crl.R.P.No.1084 of 2002 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of July, 2007 O R D E R The revision petitioner is the accused in C.C.No.927/97 in the court of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Wadakkanchery with respect to the offence under Section 324 IPC. The accused stands convicted and sentenced to undergo R.I. for three months and to pay a fine of Rs.5,000/- and in default, to undergo R.I. for three months and that out of the fine amount, if realised, Rs.4,000/- is ordered to be paid to the defacto complainant. 2. The counsel for the revision petitioner has only pleaded for leniency and has sought to avoid the sentence of imprisonment. It is pointed out that the incident has taken place in 1997 and about ten years have elapsed since the date of the incident and the commencement of the proceedings and so far he he was living under the shadow of impending imprisonment. I find that the injury sustained are not of a serious nature. In the circumstances, the sentence is modified to imprisonment till the CRRP1084/2002 Page numbers rising of the court and to pay a compensation of Rs.10,000/- to PW1, the defacto complainant. The revision petitioner is granted one month's time to remit the compensation amount. He shall appear before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Wadakkanchery on 24.8.2007 to receive sentence. The criminal revision petition is disposed of as above. K.R.UDAYABHANU, JUDGE csl
