- (1.) LIST has been revised.
(2.) LEARNED Counsel for the revisionist, SriSUNIL AGGARWAL,is present. None responds for opposite party No. 2, LEARNED A. G. A. is present for opposite party No. 1. I have heard learned Counsel for the revisionist. The revision is directed against the judgment dated 19-8-1996 passed by the II Addl. Civil Judge (Junior Division)/judicial Magistrate, Bulandshahr in Criminal Case No. 915 of 1996. The revisionist is the complainant. By the impugned judgment, the learned Magistrate convicted opposite party No. 2 for the offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instru ment Act and sentenced her to pay a fine of Rs. 4,000 or to under go simple imprison-meni for one month in default of payment of fine. The complainant is aggrieved ol this judgment and has come up in revision to enhance the punishment. It is urged that the cheque in question was of Rs. 40,000 and the case having been proved againsl opposite party No. 2 to the hill, more severe punishment ought to have been awarded to the opposite party No. 2. According to the submission of learned Counsel for the revisionist, punishment awarded by the learned Magistrate is very lenient. It is also submitted that the fine imposed on opposite party No. 2 should have been awarded as compensation to the complainant, because he had to fight out the case and incurred great expenditure in prosecution. As per para-7 of the revision petition, opposite party No. 2 has accepted sentence awarded by the Court below and has deposited the fine of Rs. 4,000. Para 8 of the revision petition further says that she did not file any proceeding 10 chal lenge the eonviclion awarded to her by the Magistrate.
