WHATSAPP 91-8075113965 (Querist) 01 September 2010 This query is : Resolved
sir,
in one of my case, accused was found guilty and sentenced to undergo si for 3 years and to pay a fine of Rs. 10,000/- for an offence of 457 of IPC and an si of 2 years and a fine of 5000/- for an offence of 380 IPC.
Is the judgement of the judicial first class magistrate legally valid , as per sec. 29(2) crpc?
as per sec 29(2) crpc, the maximum amount of fine that can be imposed by a magistrate is Rs. 5000/-.
he can impose any amount as comphensation u/s 357(1)(d) in the above offences, but, it should be " comphensation ".
here it is, fine only.
please explain ?
now, i have filed an appeal, appeal has been admitted ,sentence has been suspended till the disposal of the appeal, by the district court.
what is the effect of such illegal judgement of lower court, on an appeal ?
