Imposition of sentence for a period of two years in the case in hand appears to be on higher side and cannot be said to be adequate, just or proportionate and commensurative with the nature of the offence committed by the accused -- Court should strike a proper balance while awarding sentence keeping in view the nature and gravity of offence -- Imposition of sentence is modified from rigorous imprisonment of two years to rigorous imprisonment for one year.
