The findings concluded that the original custodial sentence of one year’s rigorous imprisonment and a fine was to be converted, with the sentence suspended for five years under Section 303 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and a compensation order of Rs. 100,000 to the victim. The principles reaffirmed the court’s discretion to suspend sentences under applicable law based on parties’ concession, with the appeal dismissed and instructions for record transmission to the High Court for further action.
