Respondent Muhammad Bashir son of Abdul Ghani was tried by Judicial Magistrate Vehari in case F.I.R. No.87 of 1990 dated 3-5-1990 under sections 354/427, P.P.C. Registered at Police Station City Vehari who vide judgment dated 18-5-1991 convicted respondent under section 354, P.P.C. Arid sentenced him to imprisonment for two years R.I. Respondent was also convicted under section 427, P.P.C. And sentenced to pay fine of Rs.1,000, or in default whereof to further undergo imprisonment for one month.
2. Appeal against the said judgment was dismissed by Additional Sessions Judge, Vehari vide judgment dated 12-4-1993 and the sentence of respondent was reduced to the extent of period already undergone by him. Through this revision petition, petitioner has challenged the illegality of judgment dated 12-4-1993 to the extent of reduction in the sentence.
3. Heard. File perused.
4. Learned Appellate Court while passing the impugned judgment observed that accused/respondent had faced the agony of this case for three years and was kept in confinement before the trial as well as after his conviction, thus, considering the period respondent had undergone in the circumstances of this case took lenient view and reduced the sentence to the period already undergone by the respondent. I see no illegality in the impugned judgment warranting interference by revisional jurisdiction. Finding no force in this revision petition, same stands dismissed.
