He submits that the applicant undertakes to not to indulge in any offence after the disposal of the present revision petition.
After hearing learned counsel for parties and taking into consideration the short jail sentence of the applicant and the fact that the applicant has already undergone one month jail sentence out of six months, I am of the view that no
