Heard. After arguing for sometime, learned counsel for the petitioner by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments only to the extent of imposition of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence on the petitioner. This is a case where both the courts below gave concurrent findings and convicted the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the conviction imposed on the petitioner. In any event, taking into consideration the fact that the case is pending from the year 2002, and in view of the lapse of time, this court is of the view that there is no need to send the petitioner to prison. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience against the petitioner in imposition of sentence. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed. However, the sentence of imprisonment is hereby modified to one month instead of one year for the offence under Section 498(A) IPC and further the sentence of imprisonment for the offence under Section 506 IPC is also modified to one month instead of six months and both sentences shall run concurrently. Further, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Court on or before 30.07.2011. On failure, the respondent is directed to obtain warrants to secure the petitioner to serve the remaining sentence. The fine amount is not interfered with. With the above directions, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date:10.06.2011 Rns
