There is also no sufficient ground to interfere with the sentence imposed on him. Learned counsel for the revision petitioner prayed for granting a period of six months to remit the fine amount. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, a period of three months can be granted for remitting the fine amount. The revision petition is dismissed confirming the conviction and sentence against the revision petitioner under Section 138 of the N.I Act.
