CRR No.1936 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRR No.1936 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:- 29.08.2011 Gopal Sharan ....Petitioner Vs. The State of Haryana ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present:- Mr. Kul Bhushan Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) Notice of motion. Mr. Amit Rana, DAG, Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State. Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 05.08.2011 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Faridabad, dismissing the appeal filed by the petitioner against the judgment of conviction dated 14.09.2010 and order of sentence dated 15.09.2010, passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Faridabad. The Courts below have given concurrent findings of fact that ingredients of Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC are duly proved against the accused-petitioner. No meaningful argument has been advanced which CRR No.1936 of 2011 (O&M) 2 may be sufficient to disturb the 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 sentence. Having heard the contention, I find some merit in it. The petitioner has been facing trial since 2006 and has undergone about 24 days out of the substantive sentence, but these circumstances are not sufficient to completely wipeout the sentence, but some reduction could be made. Resultantly, this petition is dismissed with the modification in the sentence which is reduced to one year, without any alteration in the sentence of fine. Copy of the judgment be sent to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Faridabad, for compliance. (A.N.JINDAL) 29th August, 2011 JUDGE ajp
