I am not in favour of releasing him on probation since the offence pertains to indecency against woman and even plea bargaining is forbidden in such cases,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>The court also observed that the purpose of sentencing after conviction is a &#8220;balancing act&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On one hand, it should be sufficient to deter the accused not to repeat the offence in future and become a good member of society.
