The trial Court found the petitioner guilty of offence underSection 409 IPC and sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment fortwo years and to pay a fine of Rs.2,000/- and in default of payment of fineto undergo further rigorous imprisonment for two months. Aggrievedagainst the same, petitioner filed an appeal. In appeal, Sessions Judge,Hoshiarpur vide judgment dated 19.5.2003 maintained the conviction butreduced the sentence from two years to one years rigorous imprisonment.

Crl. Revision No.1069 of 2004 [2]

Mr.Mehardeep Singh, counsel for the State has placed onrecord affidavit of Baljinder Singh Gill, P.P.S., Superintendent, District Jail,Hoshiarpur. It is stated therein that petitioner had undergone four monthsand 25 days of actual sentence. Thereafter, he was granted remissions bythe State Government on 18.4.2004 and, thus, petitioner had alreadyundergone the entire sentence. This explains as to why no body has causedappearance for the petitioner. Therefore, the present revision petition isdisposed of as the petitioner has already undergone the sentence. However,liberty is granted to the petitioner to revive the revision petition in case anygrievance subsists.
