In Brief
A complainant sought review of a Supreme Court order that had reduced the accused's sentence to six months imprisonment while directing a compensatory deposit of Rs. 2,50,000 for the complainant's benefit. The complainant had not appeared before the Court despite service. The Supreme Court dismissed the review petition, finding no error apparent on the face of the record to justify interference. The order affirmed the earlier judgment's balance between custodial punishment and financial compensation.
