IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No. 1895 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: August 24, 2011 Pardeep Kumar .. Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Ashit Malik, Advocate for the petitioner. A.N. Jindal, J Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 3.8.2011 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kurukshetra, dismissing the appeal preferred by the accused- petitioner Pardeep Kumar (herein referred as, 'the accused') against the judgment dated 17.7.2010 passed by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Kurukshetra, convicting and sentencing him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months and to pay fine of `500/- under Sections 279/337 IPC; rigorous imprisonment for four months and to pay fine of `1000/- under Section 338 IPC; and rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay fine of `2000/- under Section 304-A IPC. At the very outset, without challenging the order of conviction, learned counsel for the petitioner has only urged for reducing the sentence. Having examined the impugned judgment, the evidence appears to have been appreciated in the right perspective. Two persons had died in the accident with the truck due to the utter rash and negligent act of the petitioner. The family of the deceased has been ruined, therefore, in the peculiar circumstances of the present case, no reduction in the sentence could be made. The sentence awarded by the appellate court is already on the lower side. Dismissed. August 24, 2011 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
