1. The accused is charged for the offence U/Sec. 379 of Indian
Penal Code.
2. The accused is produced today in jail court. Accused
voluntarily pleaded guilty to the charge. It appears that, the plea of the
accused is voluntary. Hence, the plea is accepted.
3. Heard the accused on the point of sentence. The accused
submitted that his economic condition is not sound and his family is
dependent on him. The accused prayed that minimum punishment may be
imposed.
4. The prosecution could not show that the accused has criminal
antecedents. The accused committed theft of Rs.4,540/- of informant by
snatching her purse. Considering nature of the offence and the
circumstances, I am of opinion that, the period already undergone in the
judicial custody by accused is sufficient, as punishment for the offence
committed by him. Therefore, it will be just and proper to pass the
following order.
