He stands sentenced for seven years under Section 304-B and for three years under Section 498-A Indian Penal Code, besides a fine of Rs. 5,000/-, in default thereof to further undergo RI for six month.

(2.) MR . Deol contends that State of Haryana has not preferred any appeal against the acquittal of respondents, hence the instant revision petition. Mr. Dhankar, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana, confirms the statement.

(3.) THE respondents have earned acquittal mainly on the ground that there is no evidence against them to prove the charges. Mr. Deol has once again read the material evidence before me and I do not find by intrinsic infirmity in the finding arrived at by the learned trial Court while acquitting the present respondents.
