Criminal Revision No. 1016 of 1999 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Criminal Revision No. 1016 of 1999 Date of Decision: 6.3.2009 Nirbhai Singh and Others …Petitioners Versus State of Punjab …Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. J.S. Lalli, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, for the State. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) Petitioners Nirbhai Singh, Pritam Kaur, Nazar Singh, Manjit Singh, Tota Singh and Bikkar Singh were convicted and sentenced by the Court of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Jagron, to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year under Section 148, for nine months under Section 324 IPC and for six months under Section 323 read with section 149 IPC. They were also convicted and sentenced under Section 454 IPC to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of Rs.2,000/- each, in default to further undergo simple imprisonment for three months. The other accused were also convicted to varying sentences but the maximum sentence awarded is one year. Counsel for the petitioners has made a feeble attempt to Criminal Revision No. 1016 of 1999 2 assail the testimony of the witnesses. On an observation made that this Court cannot re-appreciate and do re-appraisal of the evidence and the petitioners can be granted probation, counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the petitioners have already undergone their entire sentence. I have perused the judgments of the two Courts below. No patent illegality or infirmity could be pointed out by the counsel which warrant interference of this Court to disturb the findings of fact recorded by the two Courts below. Therefore, in view of the fact that the petitioners have already undergone their sentence, present petition is rendered infructuous and the same is dismissed as such.
