When they reached near village Khara Kheri and Modha Khera, the petitioner while driving the truck bearing registration No.HYN- 9816 rashly and negligently came from the opposite side and struck against the jeep. Resultantly, Ram Singh fell down on the road and died at the spot Criminal Revision No.577 of 2003 -2- whereas Mithu Singh and Piara Singh suffered injuries. Case was registered and investigated. Consequently, on trial, the petitioner was convicted and sentenced accordingly. His appeal also failed. Having scrutinized the records of the case, it transpires that the evidence has been appreciated in the right perspective. No such illegality much less irregularity was pointed out or detected, which may render the judgment as invalid or perverse. No defect in the conduct of the trial or procedure has been pointed out. Even otherwise, as per affidavit of Superintendent, Central Jail, Hisar, dated 01.09.2010, the accused-petitioner had already undergone the sentence awarded to him and he has been released from jail on 06.11.2003. Resultantly, this petition, being devoid of any merit, is dismissed. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 01.09.2010 mamta-II
