At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner does not challenge the conviction of the petitioner and submitted that the petitioner CRR No. 2960 of 2009 2 has already remained in custody for about three months during the pendency of this case and he has suffered a lot of embarrassment owing to the pendency of this criminal case. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. The present case was registered against the petitioner for offence under Sections 170/419/511 of the Indian Penal Code. 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. As per the custody certificate handed over in Court today by the learned counsel for the State, which is taken on record, the petitioner has already undergone sentence for about three months in this case. 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. With above mentioned modification in the matter of sentence, this revision petition is dismissed. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 21.01.2011 sk.
