The High Court had reduced the substantive sentence to six months which view was not under challenge either at the instance of prosecution or by the complainant.
Considering the entirety of circumstances, the accused was directed to deposit Rs.2,50,000/- so that the complainant could be sufficiently compensated. Despite SIGN having been served, the complainant (Review Petitioner) chose not to enter appearance in this Court.
