Cr.A. No.281 of 2004. 21.02.2011 Present: Dinesh @ Dipu with Mr. G.R. Palsara, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. A.K.Bansal, Addl. A.G. for the respondent. In Cr.A. No.281 of 2004, arising out of Sessions Trial No.10/2000, 23/2004, titled State Vs. Dinesh @ Dipu, the conviction of the appellant from Sections 307 and 326 I.P.C. is converted into Section 324 I.P.C. The convict-appellant has been heard on the quantum of sentence. His statement was recorded on 3.1.2011. Report of the Probation Officer was also called for and perused by me. Except the present case, there is no other case pending or decided against the appellant. The appellant stated that he has a minor daughter of 1½ years and his parents have died. He is a hawker selling ground-nuts and vegetables on his Rehari at Khaliar, District Mandi, hence prayed to be pardoned. On perusing the facts and extenuating and exaggerating circumstances of the case, in my opinion, the ends of justice would be met in case the appellant is given the benefit of Section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act, which is accordingly ordered. -2- The appellant shall execute a bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of the like amount under Section 4 of the aforesaid Act, to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court within four weeks from today to keep peace and be of a good behaviour for a period of one year. In addition to it, the appellant shall also deposit an amount of Rs.15,000/- as compensation in the learned trial Court, within the period aforesaid which shall be released by the learned trial Court to the victim PW3 Deepak Kumar, failing which it shall be recoverable as a fine. The matter stands disposed of. Send down the records. Copy dasti on usual terms. February 21, 2011. (Surinder Singh),J. (Pds)
