he will be considered as Convict.
he has admitted to his guilt and has been imposed fine.
imposition of fine is also a punishment...mere payment of fine does not absolve a person of his conviction or guilt.

in petty offences court follows summary procedure and whn he was fined that means he was found guilty thats why he was punished. so his status is of convict

Vinod bansal ji,
any confess before the criminal court in a case is a conviction.
in the matter of petty offence as m.v.act ,gambling,excise act(low quantity)could not record in to the police station as convition how ever they are convited by the court.
