JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.A.S.Barnala, Advocate, for the petitioners. **** SABINA, J. The petitioners were tried for an offence under Section 382 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC for short), 1860 in FIR No.106 dated 18.12.2006 registered at Police Station Sadiq. The trial Court vide judgment/order dated 11.9.2009 convicted and sentenced the petitioners for an offence under Section 382 IPC. Appeal filed by the petitioners against the judgment/ order of the trial Court was dismissed by the Additional Sessions Judge vide judgment dated 7.7.2011. Hence, the present petition by the petitioners. Crl.Rev.No. 1640 of 2011 (O&M) 2 The prosecution case, in brief, was that on 18.12.2006, ASI Mukhtiar Singh along with other police officials were present at the spot and they heard people saying that some women has snatched the ear rings of a lady. The petitioners were found running from the spot and were apprehended. Complainant Manjit Kaur was also present at the spot. Her statement was recorded, wherein, she had stated that while she was boarding a bus, the petitioners had forcibly removed her gold ear ring from her right ear. When the complainant raised opposition, the petitioners caught her from hands and feet and thereafter, they ran away from the spot. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the present petition deserves to be dismissed. Complainant, in support of her case, appeared in the witness box as PW-1 and Sohan Singh, eye witness, was examined as PW-2. The said witnesses deposed as per the prosecution story. Since the petitioners were arrested at the spot, the courts below rightly convicted and sentenced the petitioners for an offence under Section 382 IPC. No ground for interference in the well reasoned judgments of the courts below is called for. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE July 29, 2011 anita
