ORDER Leave granted. The appellant in this case has been convicted under Section 338 of the Indian Penal Code. He was sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of Rs. 1,000/-. He filed an appeal but the same was dismissed while confirming the conviction and sentence passed on him. The High Court did not interfere in revision. 2. We are told that the appellant had already been in jail in connection with this case for a period of about 3 months. The plea is made that the imprisonment part of sentence may be reduced to the period he has already undergone. 3 In view of the fact that the conviction is only of the offence under Section 338 of the Indin Penal Code we are amenable to agree to the said submission. We, therefore, reduce the imprisonment part of the sentence to the period already undergone by the appellant. The appeal is accordingly disposed of. Appeal disposed of. *************** Parallel Citations of other Journals : G. Kumar v. State of A.P., 2001(5) Supreme 446 : 2001 (3) Crimes 408 00021
