IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision No. 517 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: August 29, 2011 Santosh Devi .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Preetinder S. Ahluwalia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Baljinder Singh Sra, Addl. A.G. Punjab. A.N. Jindal, J Custody certificate produced by the learned State counsel is taken on record. Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 8.2.2011 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Patiala, dismissing the appeal filed by the accused petitioner Santosh Devi (herein referred as, 'the accused') and Satpal son of Sohan Lal and Satpal son of Dhuman Singh (both non petitioners) against the judgment dated 4.4.2008 passed by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Nabha, convicting them under Sections 506/324/326 read with Section 34 IPC and sentencing them accordingly. At the very outset, learned counsel for the petitioner has not assailed the conviction. However, he has urged that the sentence of the co- accused Satpal son of Dhuman and Satpal son of Sohan Lal has already been reduced to that of already undergone. The grievous injury attributed to the petitioner is on the middle finger phalanx. The petitioner has already undergone 26 days of the substantive sentence. Having examined the medical evidence it transpires that Dr. Paravir Singh (PW4), who examined the injured on 9.6.2001 found two injuries on the person of Harwinder Singh. The doctor declared the injury on the middle finger phalanx as grievous in nature. Three persons were implicated in this case for causing two injuries. Keeping in view that Crl. Revision No. 517 of 2011 (O&M) -2- *** sentence of two persons have already been reduced to that of already undergone; the grievous injury is on the non vital part i.e. finger phalanx; the petitioner has already undergone some part of the sentence, it would be expedient in the interest of justice and parity would also be maintained if reduction is made in the sentence. Resultantly, this petition is dismissed with the modification in the sentence to that of already undergone by her. Bail bond and surety bond furnished by her shall stand discharged.
