CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 558 OF 2008
[Arising out of SLP(Crl.) No.3661/2007]
Leave granted.
Although we cannot approve the manner in which the learned Magistrate preponed
the date from 17.2.2000 to 1.2.2000, keeping in view the subsequent events, namely,
the fact that the respondent has already deposited the amount of fine imposed upon
him by the learned Magistrate as also the fact that the complainant-appellant has
already withdrawn the amount in question, we are of the opinion that interest of
justice would be subserved if the respondent is directed to pay a further sum of
Rupees Fifty Thousand to the appellant in each case. We direct accordingly. The
payment shall be made within four weeks.
The appeals are allowed with the aforementioned direction. No costs.
