Sessions Judge at Guntur. 2. The petitioner-accused No.1 along with other accused was prosecuted in C.C.No.203 of 2001 for the offence punishable under Section 498-A IPC. After due trial, the learned V Addl. Munsif Magistrate, Guntur, convicted the petitioner under Section 248 (2) Cr.P.C. and sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year and to pay a fine of Rs.500/- in default to suffer simple imprisonment for two months for the said offence, vide judgment, dated 18.11.2002. 3. As against the said conviction, the petitioner filed Criminal Appeal No.497 of 2002 on the file of the VII Addl. Sessions Judge at Guntur and the learned Sessions Judge, having gone through both the oral and documentary evidence, upheld the conviction and sentence recorded against the petitioner by the learned Magistrate, vide judgment, dated 27.06.2005. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred this revision. 4. Heard both sides. 5. After arguing for sometime, 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. 6. In view of the said submission and also the fact that the trial Court as well as the appellate Court have given concurrent findings, this Court is of the view that merits of the prosecution case and the impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. 7. It is represented that the petitioner is paying maintenance to his wife and he is looking after the welfare of his daughter and his daughter is pursuing her nursing course. Admittedly, the case is of the year 2001 and for all these years the petitioner suffered humiliation. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience towards the petitioner. 8. Accordingly, the conviction recorded against the petitioner- accused No.1 by the trial Court for the offence punishable under Section 498-A IPC as confirmed by the appellate Court is confirmed and the sentence of imprisonment is modified to that of the period already undergone by the petitioner-accused No.1. As far as the fine is concerned, apart from the fine of Rs.500/- imposed by the trial Court, the petitioner is directed to pay additional fine of Rs.2,500/- (Rupees Two thousand five hundred only) before the trial Court within a period of three months, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for three months. 9. In all other respects, the impugned judgment shall stand confirmed. 10.
