No.2326 of 2002 Date of decision 10.03.2009 Karaj Singh and another .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab .....Respondent Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice A. N. JINDAL. Present: Mr. K. S. Kahlon, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. A. N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) The trial Court vide its judgment dated 22.09.1999 convicted and sentenced Karaj Singh petitioner (herein referred to as 'petitioner') to undergo R.I for a period of one year and three months and to pay a fine of Rs.400/- under Section 326 IPC and Didar Singh, petitioner was sentenced to undergo R.I for nine months and to pay a fine of Rs.100/- under Section 326 read with 34 IPC. Similarly, Didar Singh was convicted and sentenced to undergo R.I for six months and to pay a fine of Rs.100/- under Section 325 read with 34 IPC. The appeal preferred by them was also dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioners has not assailed the judgment of conviction, however, he has pleaded for extending some leniency on quantum of sentence. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab has Crl. Rev. No.2326 of 2002 -2- submitted that as per the custody certificate Karaj Singh has already undergone the complete sentence. Now I am left with the case of Didar Singh only. The occurrence took place way back on 7.03.1996. He was sentenced only for the offence under Section 325 read with Section 34 IPC and he has already undergone about six months of the substantive sentence. Under the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, the ends of justice would be met if sentence awarded against Didar Singh is reduced to already undergone. Resultantly, this petition is dismissed with the modification in sentence to that of already undergone without any alteration in the sentence of fine. Copy of the judgment be sent to CJM, Amritsar for compliance. ( A. N. JINDAL ) JUDGE 10.03.2009 A.Kaundal
