stated that after the demand was met, the appellant started demanding more and thereafter, she was driven away from the matrimonial home. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of this case and the fact that the appellant is a lady (mother in law) and her present age is around 59 years and she has faced the criminal case right from the year 2004, this Court is inclined to modify the sentence of the appellant by enhancing the fine amount and reducing the sentence. It is also found that the informant has specifically stated before the learned court that she has been divorced and after divorce, she did not receive money and article, and if the money and article would have been returned, no case would have been filed by the informant. Considering this aspect of the matter, the sentence is hereby modified and reduced to two months with a fine of Rs.50,000/-. The fine amount should be deposited by the present petitioner by 28.02.2020 before the learned court below and the amount so deposited before the learned court below is directed to be remitted to the informant of the case after due identification. If the fine amount is not deposited by 28.02.2020, the petitioner would serve the sentence as ultimately awarded by the learned court below and the bail bonds furnished by the petitioner will be immediately cancelled. The period for which the petitioner has already remained in custody would be set off from the total period of two months.
