JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Hemant Bassi, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Hem Lata Balhara, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana for the State. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner was convicted by the trial Court for offence under Section 323 and 324 IPC. The accused petitioner was sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for six months under Section 323 IPC and imprisonment for one year for offence under Section 324 IPC. Aggrieved against the same, petitioner had filed an appeal. The appellate Court had released the petitioner on probation for a period of six months. The judgment was rendered by the appellate Court on 19th April, 2000. Period of six months has already elapsed. In the State of Haryana, Probation of Offenders Act is applicable. Needless to say, under section 12(a) of the Probation of Offenders Act, any person released on probation suffers from no disqualification. The judgment of Additional Sessions Judge, Hisar while releasing the petitioner on probation, had noticed that petitioner was aged 65 years. Criminal Revision No.1461 of 2000 As this Court has already stated that no disqualification can be attached to the probation granted under Probation of Offenders Act, no interference is warranted in the present revision petition and the same is dismissed.
