Bollywood actor Dalip Tahil is again making headlines and this time for all the wrong reasons. In the latest development in a 2018 case, the 65-year-old actor faced a conviction and has been sentenced to two months imprisonment for driving under the influence of alcohol and ramming his car into an autorickshaw, and injuring a woman at Khar.
As per several media reports, a magistrate court has found the actor guilty and punished him on the basis of the doctor's testimony, where the medical practitioner stated that there was a smell of alcohol, dilated pupils, and incoherent speech.
What is Simple Imprisonment?
The Indian Penal Code (IPC) mentions two types of imprisonment, simple and rigorous and the Court must choose one or the other form in view of all the circumstances.
Simple imprisonment is suitable where a fine will not suffice and a very short term of imprisonment has to be imposed. This ensures casual offenders are kept apart from the contamination of hardened criminals.
