NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) This revision is directed against the judgment dated May 25th, 2005 passed by Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Bhiwani, affirming the judgment of conviction dated October 22nd, 2003 and order of sentence dated October 23rd, 2003 of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Siwani Camp at Bhiwani whereby petitioner was convicted for the offence under Section 304-A of Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergone rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not challenge the conviction and prays for reduction of sentence. He further stated that as the date of birth of the petitioner is August 30th, 1981 per Birth Certificate (Annexure P-4) filed by the State so, the petitioner was juvenile on October 28th, 1998, the date of alleged accident. It was further pointed out that in view of the fact that the petitioner was juvenile and he has already undergone actual sentence of two months and six days as per the Jail Custody Certificate, it would be in the interest of justice, if the sentence imposed upon him is reduced to the period already undergone. The aforesaid circumstances are of mitigating nature and justify the request made. Hence, this Court upholds the conviction of the petitioner but reduces the sentence to the period already undergone by Criminal Revision No. 1125 of 2005 2 him. The revision is accepted partly as indicated above. (NAWAB SINGH) JUDGE 31.1.2011 SN
