Crl. Revision No. 791 of 2011(O&M) -2- In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh … Crl. Revision No. 791 of 2011(O&M) Date of decision: September 8,2011 Pawan Kumar ..Petitioner. Versus State of Haryana ..Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N.Jindal Present: Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Amit Rana, DAG, Haryana for the respondent-State ... A.N.Jindal,J. Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 24.3.2011 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Bhiwani, dismissing the appeal filed by the petitioner against the judgment of conviction and sentence dated 25.1.2010 passed by the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Charkhi Dadri. The petitioner while driving the four wheeler rashly and negligently, struck against the motor cycle, dragged the motor cycle and the rider to a considerable distance and also hit Ajit and Hiten who died at the spot. The Courts below have returned concurrent findings of the fact regarding the guilt of the petitioner under Sections 279/337/304-A/427 IPC on the basis of the sound evidence. No meaningful arguments have been advanced which may be sufficient to disturb the concurrent findings regarding conviction returned by the Courts below. Faced with the situation, the counsel for the petitioner has urged for extending some leniency to the petitioner on the quantum of Crl. Revision No. 791 of 2011(O&M) -2- sentence. Having heard the contention, I find some merit in it. The petitioner has been facing trial since 2002 and has undergone about 169 days of substantive sentence. Though these circumstances may not be sufficient to completely wipe out the sentence, but some reduction could be made. Resultantly, in the peculiar circumstances of this case, this petition is dismissed with the modification in the sentence and the same is reduced to one year, without any alteration in the sentence of fine. Copy of the judgment be sent to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhiwani for compliance. September 8,2011 (A.N.JINDAL) nk JUDGE
