Sonepur, District – Saran. ………Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar ……….Opposite Party ---------------------------------- 4. 08.12.2011 The accused petitioner has preferred this revision application against the judgment and order dated 29.06.2010 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Saran at Chapra in Cr. Appeal No.115/2008 by which the judgment and order dated 14.08.2008 passed by the learned trial court has been confirmed and the appeal has been dismissed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, Mrs. I.B.Pandey, the learned counsel for the State and perused the records, it appears that the petitioner has been convicted for the offence punishable under Section 411 of the I.P.C. and sentenced to R.I. for one year vide judgment and order dated 14.08.2008 passed by the learned Railway Judicial Magistrate in G.R. No.174/2003, Trial No.869/2008. The petitioner filed Cr. Appeal No.115/2008 against the aforesaid judgment and order dated 14.08.2008. After hearing both the parties, the appeal has 2 been dismissed and the judgment and order of trial court dated 14.08.2008 has been confirmed. It appears that the petitioner has remained in custody for more than eight months. He has no criminal antecedent. Considering the facts and circumstances stated above, in my opinion, it is a fit case in which the sentence of the petitioner should be reduced/modified. Accordingly, the sentence of the petitioner is reduced to the period already undergone in custody and a fine of Rs.500/-. The petitioner is directed to deposit a sum of Rs.500/- in the trial court and file a receipt thereof. Thereafter, the petitioner will be released, if not required in any other case. With this modification in the sentence, this revision application stands disposed of. I.A. No.2011/2011 stands disposed of. Let this order be communicated to the court below through fax at the cost of the petitioner. V.K. Pandey ( Amaresh Kumar Lal, J.)
