ORDER : K. Jayachandra Reddy, J. - Heard learned counsel. 2. The appellant has been found guilty under Section 408 Indian Penal Code and sentenced to 6 months? R.I. and to pay a fine of Rs 4000, in default of payment of which to suffer further R.I. for three months. The appellant was the Manager of Okha Mandal Taluka Sahakari Kharid Vechan Sangh Ltd. ? a cooperative society. It is alleged that he misappropriated a sum of about Rs 8784. A complaint was lodged by the Accountant and the case was investigated and charge-sheet was laid. The trial Court acquitted the accused. In the appeal filed by the State, the High Court interfered and accepting the prosecution case convicted him as mentioned above. We have gone through the judgment and the High Court has given good reasons for setting aside the order of acquittal. The evidence which consists mostly of documents is relied upon and we see no ground to disagree with the findings of the High Court. 3. The occurrence is said to have taken place some time in the year 1976 and the appellant was in jail for about three months. Therefore, we see no ground to send him back to jail. In the result, the conviction is confirmed but the sentence of imprisonment is reduced to the period already undergone. The sentence of fine, along with the default clause, and the other directions given by the High Court, are confirmed. 4. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed subject to the above modifications.
