IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No.832 of 2003(O & M) Date of Decision: 13.01.2011 Vinod Kumar ....petitioner Versus State of Punjab .....respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr.O.P.Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.S.S.Chandumajra, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab **** AJAY TEWARI,J.(ORAL) This revision has been filed against the concurrent judgments of the courts below convicting the accused in case FIR No.141 of 17.12.1997 registered under Sections 304-A/279/427/337 IPC, Police Station City Phagwara. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to persuade me that the findings of guilt recorded by the courts below are either palpably perverse or even arguably arbitrary. However, considering the fact that the occurrence took place on 16.12.1997; the fact that the petitioner has already undergone three and a half months imprisonment out of total sentence of one year and the fact that now the petitioner has been facing this prosecution for the past more than 13 years, I deem it appropriate to reduce the sentence of the petitioner to that already undergone even while upholding his conviction. In the circumstance, the revision petition stands disposed of in the above terms. Petitioner be released, forthwith. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE 13.01.2011 neenu
