IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision No. 355 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : September 21, 2011 Parshotam Lal and another .... Petitioners versus State of Haryana and another .... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Manuj Nagrath, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Amit Rana, DAG, Haryana for respondent No.1-State. Mr. M.S. Joshi, Advocate for respondent No.2. A.N. JINDAL, J Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 19.1.2011 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Fatehabad, dismissing the appeal filed by the accused- petitioners (herein referred as, 'the accused') against the judgment dated 7.3.2008 passed by the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Tohana, with the modification that the accused were ordered to be released on probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958. Having heard the contentions and examined the impugned judgment, the evidence appears to have been appreciated in the right perspective. The Appellate Court has exercised its discretion while releasing them on probation under the Probation of Offenders Act. No illegality much less irregularity or perversity has been detected warranting interference by this Court. Consequently, the instant petition being devoid of any merit is dismissed with the further direction that the order of probation passed by the First Appellate Court would not effect the service benefits for which they are otherwise entitled.
