PRESENT: Mr. Chanan Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. NDS Mann, Addl. AG, Punjab for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. Crl. Misc. No.51258 of 2011 Mr. Maan does not oppose the prayer made in the application for condonation of delay in filing the revision. Accordingly, delay of 32 days in filing the revision is condoned. Crl. Revision No. 2213 of 2011 The petitioner has filed this revision to impugn his conviction for offence under Section 61(1) (a) of the Punjab Excise Act. The appeal filed by the petitioner against his conviction has been dismissed. The petitioner has been sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year. Crl. Revision No. 2213 of 2011 -2- The allegation against the petitioner is that he was stopped by the Police on the basis of suspicion. Six boxes of Bagpiper Whisky were recovered from the petitioner. Another six boxes of Winner Whisky meant for sale in Chandigarh were further recovered from the petitioner. Samples were taken and ultimately the petitioner was prosecuted and convicted. Now, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though he has arguable points, but he will be satisfied in case some leniency is shown and the sentence imposed being harsh is reduced. Considering the fact that the recovery was not of an illicit liquor and was only of a liquor, which was meant for sale in a particular area and was being taken for sale to another area, the case for showing some leniency is made out. As per the counsel, the petitioner has already undergone 5 months and 13 days sentence out of the total rigorous imprisonment imposed. The sentence is reduced to a period already undergone. The revision petition is otherwise dismissed. October 19, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
