JUDGMENT S.R. Bhargava, J. - This revision has arisen from incident of 17th August, 1985. In connection with that incident revisionists Sharda Kartu and Shiv Baran have been convicted with offences under Sections 323/341 I.P.C. and 504 I.P.C. On both the Counts the sentences passed by :he lower Appellate Court is three months each. Short term sentences do not serve any useful purpose, they do not reform the offenders. Rather they result into disservice to the Society by placing the offender in the company of hardened Criminals in jail and spoiling the character of the offender for ever. Hence this revision was admitted on the point of sentence only. 2. I allow this revision in part and having set aside the jail sentences of the revisionists, imposed a fine of Rs. 100/- on each of them. They shall deposit fine within a month. Out of the fine realised from them, a sum of Rs. 200/- shall-be paid to the injured. 3. Copy of this order be issued to the counsel for the revisionist on payment of usual charges within 24 hours.
