Criminal Misc. No.1493of 2010 and Criminal Revision No.1218 of 2000 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.1493of 2010 and Criminal Revision No.1218 of 2000 Date of Decision 14.01.2010 Jaswant Singh and others ...... Petitioner(s) VERSUS State of Haryana ...... Respondent(s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.G.S.Gill, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Rajiv Malhotra, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): Initially four accused namely Ajaib Singh, Jaswant Singh, Satnam Singh and Bakshish Singh were named in the FIR No.400 dated 13.11.1985, under Sections 326, 323, 324, 325, 148 and 149 of I.P.C., registered at Police Station Safidon for causing injuries to Harbhajan Singh, Sinder Singh, Man Singh and Kandhara Singh. Lateron, the police challaned seven accused-petitioners (herein referred as 'the petitioners') by adding three more accused namely Satnam Singh son of Balkar Singh, Jagjit Singh @ Judge and Gurbachan Singh. On trial, all the seven petitioners were convicted to undergo for various sentences for the aforesaid offences by the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Safidon, vide judgment dated 21/22.03.1996. Their appeal was also dismissed. Now all the three injured namely Har Bhajan Singh, Sinder Singh and Man Singh have appeared before me and furnished their Criminal Misc. No.1493of 2010 and Criminal Revision No.1218 of 2000 2 affidavits that they have compromised with the petitioners. Kandhara Singh, forth injured, has already expired 8-9 years back, which has been certified by Gurmukh Singh, Sarpanch of village Rampura, Tehsil Safidon, District Jind. The findings returned by the Trial Court regarding conviction are not challenged before me. Even otherwise, from the record, it transpires that the Courts below have appreciated the evidence in the right perspective and no interference with regard to the findings regarding conviction is called for. As regards the sentence, the occurrence took place far back on 12.11.1985. The petitioners are facing the proceedings since then. They have already undergone substantive part of the sentence. Thus, in the peculiar circumstances of the case and in view of the fact that the complainant-injured Harbhajan Singh and two other injured persons, by way of filing the affidavits in this Court except Kandhara Singh (since deceased), have compromised with the petitioners. It would be in the fitness of things if the sentence is reduced to that already undergone without any alteration in the sentence of fine. Resultantly, this petition is dismissed with the modification in the sentence to that of already undergone without any alteration in the sentence of fine. Copy of this order be sent to Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jind, for compliance. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 15.01.2010 mamta-II
