Nos.54811-12 of 2010 and CRR No.1612 of 2006 Date of decision:- 19.09.2011 Avtar Singh and others ....Petitioners Vs. State of Haryana and another ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present:- Mr. Arvind Kashyap, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Amit Rana, DAG, Haryana. ***** A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) Crl. Misc. Nos.54811-12 of 2010 In view of the averments mentioned in the applications, same are allowed and compromise Annexure P-1 is taken on record. CRR No.1612 of 2006 Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 29.07.2006 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Kaithal, dismissing the appeal filed by the accused-petitioners (hereinafter referred to as 'the accused') against the judgment of conviction dated 14.09.2004, passed under Sections 323, 324 read with Section 149 IPC by the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Guhla. CRR No.1612 of 2006 (O&M) 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the parties have compromised the matter. In support of the said fact, he has placed on record, the copy of the compromise (Annexure P-1). Even otherwise, the judgment of conviction has not been assailed and the only contention raised by the counsel is regarding extending some leniency on the quantum of sentence. Heard, keeping in view that the petitioners have undergone more than two months out of the substantive sentence; they have already faced trauma of protracted trial pending since 2004 and are the sole bread winners of their respective families, it would be expedient in the interest of justice, if the sentence awarded to them is reduced to some extent. Resultantly, this petition is dismissed with the modification in the sentence, which is reduced to three months without any alteration in the sentence of fine. Copy of the order be sent to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kaithal, for strict compliance. (A.N.JINDAL) September 19, 2011 JUDGE ajp
