NEETIKA TUTEJA 2025.04.29 17:08 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRR-28-2014 -2- 4. However as far as the impugned order of sentence is concerned it is noced that peoner was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of two years and to pay fine of ₹1,000/- with default sentence of 15 days rigorous imprisonment in case of non-payment of fine. 5. The custody cerficate placed on record by the respondent- State would reveal that peoner has already undergone actual custody sentence of 09 months and 24 days. Custody cerficate further indicates that peoner is not involved in any other criminal case. 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 peoner, instead of sending him 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 peoner is sentenced to imprisonment for the period already undergone by him. 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 peoner will have to carry out the complete sentence as imposed by the trial Court.
