(2.) DESPITE the list being revised, none appeared to press this revision. Sri VA. Ansari has sent illness slip. In view of earlier adjournments it was directed that no further adjournment will be granted. DESPITE this observation the learned Counsel has again sent illness slip. In view of these facts the revision is being disposed of on merits after perusing the record with the help of learned A. G. A.

(3.) CONSIDERING the nature of the ac cusation and also the fact that the offence had taken long before I find it a fit case to award simple imprisonment and, there fore, the rigorous imprisonment awarded by the Magistrate and confirmed by the appellate Court is altered to minimum period but of simple imprisonment.
