Seeking setting aside of impugned judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated 13/14.10.2014 passed by SDJM, Hathin convicting the petitioner and affirmed by Additional Sessions Judge, Palwal by modifying the sentence from 03 years to 02 years, the petitioner had come up before this Court by filing the present revision petition.

¶16

Counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegations are of cheating of Rs.1,40,000/-, out of which Rs.40,000/- has been returned and he on instructions without conceding and admitting states that petitioner will live like a decent honest human being and shall not re-indulge in any crime, will reform.

¶17

State counsel strongly opposes such prayer. State counsel has handed over custody certificate of the petitioner dated 26.04.2026, as per which the petitioner has undergone a period of 09 months and 25 days out of maximum sentence of 02 years.

¶18

Given the submission made by counsel for the petitioner and State counsel and after going through the record of the case, I am of the considered opinion that ends of justice would be met if the judgment of conviction is affirmed and sentence of the petitioner is reduced to the period already undergone by him i.e. 09 months and 25 days.

¶19

With the aforesaid observations, petition stands disposed of. Judgment of conviction is affirmed and order of sentence is modified and sentence is reduced to the period already undergone by the petitioner. Amount of fine is forfeited to State. Surety bonds, if any furnished stand discharged. All pending applications, if any also stand disposed of.
