IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No. 2156 of 2005 Date of decision: December 03, 2010 Mange Ram .. Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Babbar Bhan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Rattu, DAG, Haryana for the respondent. A.N. Jindal, J Challenge made in this petition is to the judgment dated 18.11.2005 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Bhiwani dismissing the appeal filed by the accused- petitioner (herein referred as, 'the petitioner') against the judgment dated 14/15.9.2004 convicting and sentencing him to undergo simple imprisonment for three months and to pay fine of Rs.800/- under Section 279 IPC, simple imprisonment for three months and to pay fine of Rs.400/- under Section 337 IPC and simple imprisonment for six months and to pay fine of Rs.800/- under Section 338 IPC. Without assailing the judgment of conviction, it has been submitted by the learned counsel that the petitioner has already undergone more than two months of the substantive sentence, therefore, he may be dealt with leniently on the quantum of sentence. Having examined the impugned judgment, the evidence appears to have been appreciated in the right perspective. Both the courts below have returned concurrent findings of fact that the accused was guilty of the offence for which they were charged. No illegality much less irregularity or perversity has been pointed out warranting interference by this court. As such, no exception to the opinion expressed by the courts below could be made at this revisional stage. Now coming to the quantum of sentence, it may be observed that the occurrence took place way back in the year 2000; the petitioner has already suffered a lot due to the protracted proceedings pending against him since then; he has already undergone more than two months of the Criminal Revision No. 2156 of 2005 -2- *** substantive sentence and he is ready to compensate the injured. As such, I am of the considered opinion that ends of justice would be met if some leniency is extended to him. Resultantly, this revision petition is dismissed with the modification in the sentence which is reduced to that of already undergone by him without any alteration in the sentence of fine. However, he would pay Rs.20,000/- as compensation to the injured within three months from today failing which he would undergo the sentence as awarded by the trial court. Copy of this judgment be sent to the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhiwani, for compliance. December 03, 2010 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
