Cr.A No.272/1994 24.06.2008 Present: Mr. P.K. Sharma, Additional Advocate General, for the appellant. Respondent-convict Jarmu in custody of HC Bachan Singh and HHC Karam Singh No.323 of Police Station Bharmour, District Chamba, H.P. Mr. R.K. Gautam, Senior Advocate, with Mr. Naveen Bhardwaj, counsel for the respondent-convict. We have heard the respondent-convict on the question of sentence. He is 60 years old and even at this old age he is working as a daily-waged worker to earn his livelihood. He says that his eldest son died last year, having remained in comma and that all his savings have been spent on the treatment of the said son. Incident had taken place 17 years back. Respondent-convict happened to kill the deceased, when he saw him in his house with his wife in the course of the night. Looking to all these facts and the circumstances, we are of the considered view that the respondent-convict deserves to be dealt with leniency in the matter of award of sentence. So, we sentence him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/-, in default of payment of fine to undergo simple imprisonment for a further period of three months. Jail warrants be prepared accordingly. A copy each of judgment dated 14.05.2008 and this order be given to the respondent-convict, free of cost. ( Surjit Singh ), J.
