20004 have directed for release of the accused and third,
where after maintaining the conviction, this Court has
referred the matter to the JJB for passing appropriate
orders on sentence. All the judgments delivered earlier
which are briefly discussed hereunder relate to the 2000
Act. Present case falls under the 2015 Act as the offence
itself is of the year 2017.
21. In the case of Jitendra Singh alias Babboo Singh and
another vs. State of Uttar Pradesh5, a two-Judge Bench
of this Court confirmed the conviction but as the appellant
therein could only be awarded imposition of fine, the
existing fine of Rs.100/- was found to be grossly
inadequate and accordingly, the matter was remitted to
the JJB for determining the appropriate quantum of fine
that
should
be
levied
on
the
appellant
and
the
compensation that should be awarded to the family of the
victim.
