(ORAL) This revision has been filed against the concurrent conviction of the petitioner under Section 409 IPC. The allegations are that in the year 1998 the petitioner had made advances to himself which were retained by him wrongfully. Learned trial Court has directed him to undergo two C.R.R. No.3375 of 2010 (O&M) -2- years imprisonment alongwith fine of Rs.5000/-. It is admitted that even before lodging of the F.I.R. an amount of Rs.54,000/- was deposited by the petitioner and the remaining amount of Rs.30,000/- was deposited immediately after lodging of the F.I.R. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner is now a senior citizen and has undergone about 2½ months imprisonment. These facts are not controverted by the learned Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. Keeping in mind these facts, I deem it appropriate to reduce the sentence of the petitioner to that he has already undergone even while upholding his conviction. Ordered accordingly. The petitioner be released forthwith. Revision stand disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) February 21, 2011 JUDGE ashish
