This Revision is preferred against the judgment dt.5/6/1999 of the Additional Sessions Judge,Raigad confirming the order of conviction for the offence punishable u/s 179 of the Indian Penal Code. The lerned J.M.F.C.sentenced the applicant to suffer S.I.for two months and pay fine of Rs.500/- i/d to suffer S.I.for 15 days. The applicant had committed the offence in open Court of J.M.F.C.Murud when she refused to take oath and answer the questions asked by the Court on 7/11/1998.
