ORDER : M.K. Mukherjee, J. 1. Consequent upon dismissal of his appeal by the High Court the appellant before us stands convicted under Sections 363 and 366 Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for four years. From the judgments of the learned courts below we find that both the courts have considered and discussed the entire evidence and given cogent and convincing reasons for recording their finding that the appellant kidnapped the victim girl Sangeeta with intent to seduce her to illicit intercourse. In such circumstances we find no reason to interfere with the conviction of the appellant under Section 366 Indian Penal Code. However, he could not be convicted under Section 363 Indian Penal Code also which is a minor offence in relation to the former. We, therefore, set aside his conviction under Section 363 Indian Penal Code. 2. As regards the sentence, we feel, considering the facts and circumstances of the case particularly the fact that the appellant has already suffered a substantial period of imprisonment, that justice will be sufficiently met if his sentence for his conviction under Section 366 Indian Penal Code is reduced to the period already undergone; and we order accordingly. 3. The appeal is, thus, disposed of. The appellant, who is in jail, be released forthwith.
