CRR No.741 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRR No.741 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:- 29.08.2011 Jarnail Singh and others ....Petitioners Vs. Jagga Singh and another ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present:- Mr. Balram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Baljinder Singh Sra, Addl. A.G., Punjab. ***** A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 22.03.2011 passed by the Addl. Sessions Judge, Ferozepur, dismissing the appeal preferred by the accused-petitioners (hereinafter referred to as 'the petitioners') against the judgment of conviction dated 18.10.2007, under Sections 323, 325, 342, 506 read with Section 34 IPC, passed by the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Jalalabad (West), District Ferozepur. This Court, vide order dated 28.04.2011, had directed the petitioners to deposit Rs.20,000/- each, as fine/compensation, with the trial Court, so that their case could be considered for releasing them on probation. No argument has been raised to assail the judgment of CRR No.741 of 2011 (O&M) 2 conviction. The only prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that some leniency may be shown on the quantum of sentence and if possible, they may be released on probation. In view of the fact that the petitioners have already undergone one month of the substantive sentence; they have deposited Rs.80,000/- as compensation, to be paid to the complainant-injured Jagga Singh and they are stated to be the first offenders, therefore, it would be in the fitness of things if the petitioners are extended the benefit of probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958. Consequently, this petition is dismissed with modification in the sentence to the extent that the petitioners are directed to be released on probation on their furnishing personal bonds in the sum of Rs.5000/- with one surety in the like amount each before the trial Court, to keep peace and be of good behaviour for one year and in case of breach of conditions of the bond, they will be ready to serve sentence as and when called for. The complainant-respondent No.1 would be at liberty to receive the payment of compensation i.e. Rs.80,000/-, from the trial Court against proper identification.
