Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. D.S. Pheruman, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl. AG, Punjab. NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) This revision is directed against the judgment dated March 19th, 2002 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Kapurthala whereby judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated August 28th, 2000 of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sultanpur Lodhi were upheld whereby petitioners were convicted and sentenced as under:- Offence Sentence Fine In default 148 IPC RI for 1 year Rs.250/- RI for 1 molnth 323/149 IPC RI for 6 months -- -- 342/149 IPC RI for 6 months -- -- 336/149 IPC RI for 1 year Rs.250/- RI for 1 month The sentences were ordered to run concurrently. 2. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that Anup Singh, Sarup Singh and Darshan have expired so, revision filed on their behalf stands abated. So far as the remaining petitioners are concerned, they have stated that they do not challenge the judgments of conviction rather confines their submission to the quantum of sentence and prays that sentence imposed upon them be reduced to the period already undergone, that is, about three months on the grounds that occurrence took place on June 25th, 1996. The petitioners have faced the agony of Criminal Revision No. 627 of 2002 (2) protracted criminal proceedings spreading over a period of more than 15 years. Not only that, parties have entered into compromise. None of the petitioners is a previous convict. They are the only bread winners of their respective families. 3. The grounds taken justify the request made so, this Court upholds the conviction of the petitioners but their sentence is reduced to the period already undergone by them. However, the sentence of fine shall remain intact. (NAWAB SINGH) JUDGE 5.12.2011. SN
