After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioner by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments to the extent of imposition of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence on the petitioner. In view of the said submission, this Court is of the view that merits of the Prosecution case and impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. Admittedly, the case is pertaining to the year 2001. After a lapse of this long time, this Court is of the view that there is no need to send the accused to prison. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed. However, considering the circumstances of the case, the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioner is hereby reduced to that of the period already undergone by him in prison. The remaining portion of the impugned judgment including fine amount shall stand unchanged. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 15.12.2010 sur
