Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

On Last Date I was present I didn't understand what order judge give. Order is below
Counsel for complainant submits that accused had settled the
all three connected cases before Mediation Cell, KKD for Rs. 3,45,000/payable
by year 2009. However, counsel for complainant submits that
accused had paid only Rs. 30,000/so
far. Meanwhile, accused again
seeks two years time for paying remaining settlement amount. Counsel
for complainant submits that it is not acceptable to the AR for
complainant. In this circumstance, court considered that previous
settlement stands failed. Accordingly, plea of defence of accused
recorded in which accused admitted liability in question due to which
cheque in question was issued by him. Accused further submits that he
needs some time for paying remaining settlement amount to the
complainant. In view of voluntarily plea of guilty of accused, conducting
trial of this case any longer would be futile exercise. Accordingly,
accused is convicted for offence u/s 251 Cr.P.C after recording his plea
of guilt in his own words. This being the case, let matter be adjourned
for argument on point of sentence on 22.06.2012.

Dear Sir / Madam,

Section 251 - When in a summons case the accused appears or is brought before the Magistrate, the particulars of the offence of which he is accused shall be stated to him, and he shall be asked whether he pleads guilty or has any defence to make, but it shall not be necessary to frame a formal charge.

In your case the Judge has ruled the matter has be adjourned for argument on point of sentence on 22.06.2012. You should consult your lawyer on the corrective line of action you can take, inorder to minimize the sentence to be pronounced by the Judge against you in the case.

If you are an ACCUSED in this case then your free time is over as you have admitted your liability and you have been convicted by the court and now the matter is listed for sentencing which means the time period which you would be required to spent in a jail.
