1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Rev. No. 2752 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 26.10.2009 *** Banarsi Dass .. Petitioner Vs. Punjab State & Anr. .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR, Present:- Mr. P.K. Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. *** ARVIND KUMAR, J. The petitioner is author of FIR No. 54 dated 9.4.2006, registered under Section 306 IPC at Police Station Patran. Respondent No.2 is facing trial in the aforesaid case and the learned trial Court framed the charges under Section 306 IPC. However, the complainant filed an application under Section 216 Cr.P.C. for alteration of charge to Section 304-B from Section 306 IPC. Vide order dated 19.12.2007 his said request was declined by the Court. Hence, the complainant-petitioner is laying challenge to the said order dated 19.12.2007. Since the order was passed way back on 19.12.2007 and the instant revision petition has been filed in the month of October, 2009, there occurred a delay of about 584 days in filing the same, for which the complainant has filed an application seeking condonation of the aforesaid delay. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner this Court is of the considered view that no ground is made out to condone such a colossal delay in filing the instant revision petition. The perusal of the application for condonation of delay reveals that no reason, worth for consideration, is spelt out from the same. Even otherwise, it has been conceded by learned counsel for the petitioner that the trial is at its fag end 2 and the case is fixed for defence evidence and arguments. Thus, at this belated juncture, it would not be in the fitness of things to interfere with the impugned order, which otherwise, has been passed by the learned trial Court in the light of material placed on record, after applying its judicial mind. Dismissed. (ARVIND KUMAR) JUDGE October 26,,2009 Jiten
