23.The appellant has admitted the issuance of show cause notice.
An opportunity for the appellant to file his reply was given. The
appellant has not filed any petition seeking time for filing counter. The
appellant has admitted the occurrence. The appellant in his reply mail has
extended his apology to the Court. Without praying for suspension of
sentence, the appellant has paid the fine. The petitioner cannot now
question the order of the learned Principal District Judge as a matter of
right. But considering the nature of the occurrence and considering the
introduction of virtual Court functioning and considering the fact that the
petitioner extended apology, some leniency has to be shown. Hence,
accepting apology, the order is set aside. The fine amount paid is directed
to be refunded to the petitioner.
24.With the above observation, this Criminal Revision Case is
disposed of. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
