JUDGEMENT

(1.) B. K. Rathi, J. This is a revision under Sections 397/401 Cr. P. C. against the order dated 28-4-99 passed by the Sessions Judge, Kushi Nagar at Padrauna by which he dismissed Criminal Appeal No. 5 of 1998.

(2.) THE applicants were prosecuted for the offence under Sections 323/34 and 506 I. P. C. THE learned Magistrate convicted them. After hearing the accused, he or dered that they are sentenced to six months R. I. and to pay a fine of Rs. 500 each. However, in the operative portion he has only mentioned that the accused are sentenced for the offence under Sections 323 and 506 I. P. C. to six months R. I. each. THEre is no only of sentence of fine in the operative portion. Apart from this, there is another illegality in the order. THE learned Magistrate should have awarded separate sentences for the offence under Sections 323 and 506 I. P. C. On the other hand, he has awarded composite sentence of six months. THE learned Magistrate is directed to study the law and to pass proper orders.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the applicants has requested that the sentence be con verted into fine. I, therefore, maintain the conviction of the applicants for the offence under Sections 323 and 506 I. P. C. I direct that each of the applicants shall pay a fine of Rs. 200/- for the offence under Section 323 I. P. C. and Rs. 100/- for the offence under Section 506 I. P. C. i. e. total amount offline of Rs. 300/ -. With this modification this revision is disposed of finally. .
