Criminal Revision No.439 of 1993 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No.439 of 1993 Date of decision: February 06, 2008 Sunder and others … Appellants/ Petitioners Versus State of Haryana … Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. C.R. Dahiya, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) Mr.Dahiya has stated that he will not be in a position to challenge the conviction as he is conscious that the Revisional Court cannot re-appreciate the evidence. No illegality in the judgments of courts below or question of law has been raised before me. Mr.Dahiya has stated that in the present case, sentence of one year was awarded under Section 325 IPC. Petitioners in the present case, were armed with blunt weapons Lathi, which are commonly available. Occurrence in the present case has taken place on 2nd September, 1985. A period of about 23 years is going to elapse. Mr.Dahiya has stated at bar that in the last 23 years, petitioners have not been convicted in any other offence. To send the petitioners behind bars after 23 years will unnecessarily disturb peace, amity and harmony, which is prevailing in the village. Criminal Revision No.439 of 1993 2 Taking all these factors in view, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioners on probation under Probation of Offenders Act for one year to maintain good conduct and behaviour subject to their furnishing bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Fatehabad to this effect. However, sentence of fine is enhanced to Rs.5000/- qua each of the accused and same shall be converted as cost of litigation. Non deposit of fine by the petitioner shall be considered as dismissal of the present revision petition. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] Judge February 6, 2008. rps
