' The facts giving rise to this revision are that Muhammad lqbal and Muhammad Hussain were tried by Magistrate under section 354.P.P.C. For out-raging the modesty of Mst. Malkan wife of Stier Muhammad, P.W. On 7-2-1983. The learned Magistrate convicted the petitioners under section 354, P.P.C. And sentenced him to one year's R.I. And a fine of Rs,1,000 each, in default thereof to further R.I.
For two months each.
2. The appeal filed by the petitioners against the order of their conviction was rejected by the learned Additional Sessions Judge on 11-3-1964, hence this revision.
3. The learned counsel has not challenged the conviction of th petitioners and rightly so because there is ample evidence on record to prove that the petitioners had out-raged the modesty of Mst.
Malkan. The learned counsel simply requested for reduction in sentence. In the circumstances of the case, I feel inclined to reduce sentence of imprisonment from one year's R.I. To six months' R.I.
Because the petitioners are the first offenders. The fine of Rs,1,000 and sentence in default thereof is maintained. With this reduction in the sentence, the revision is disposed of.
