    The court found the accused guilty and sentenced him to a fine of Rs. 200 (or 5 days simple imprisonment if fine is not paid) under the Indian Penal Code 2023, showing leniency due to the accused's first-time offense, remorse, family dependency, and socio-economic circumstances. The court applied the principle that lighter punishment can serve the ends of justice when case circumstances warrant it, citing precedent from Gujarat High Court's decision in Nahar Harchandji Thakor case.
