NEETIKA TUTEJA 2025.05.09 13:17 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRR-948-2007 (O&M) -2- 4. However as far as the impugned order of sentence is concerned it is noced that peoners were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a maximum period of one year each and to pay fine of ₹500/- each with default sentence of 15 days simple imprisonment each in case of non-payment of fine. 5. The order dated 31.05.2007, whereby sentence of the peoners have suspended would reveal that peoners have already undergone 16 days of sentence a3er their convicon. The offence had taken place way back in 1994 i.e. 31 years back. 6. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, it will be in the interest of jusce, if the period of imprisonment is reduced to the period already undergone by the peoners, instead of sending them behind bars in the company of hardened criminals. 7. Consequently, the present revision peon is partly accepted. By maintaining the impugned judgment against convicon, the order of sentence as passed by the trial Court is modified and the peoners are sentenced to imprisonment for the period already undergone by them. 8. However, it is made clear that amount of fine, if not paid earlier, shall be deposited before learned Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned, within a period of four weeks’ from today, failing which the peoners will have to carry out the complete sentence as imposed by the trial Court.
