Crl. Rev. No. 512 of 1993 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Rev. No. 512 of 1993 DATE OF DECISION: February 01, 2010 Karnail Singh and another .........APPELLANT(S) VERSUS State of Punjab ......RESPONDENT(S) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present: Mr. DPS Kahlon, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Manoj Bajaj, Addl. A.G., Punjab. AJAI LAMBA, J. (ORAL) The accused have approached this Court by way of filing of a revision petition against judgment of conviction and order of sentence. Prayer is confined to quantum of sentence. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that rigorous imprisonment of 1-1/2 years and fine is too harsh in the context of the nature of offence and also the fact that the petitioners have been suffering the agony of trial and later on appeal since 1988 i.e. about 22 years. Learned counsel for the respondents has drawn the attention of the Court towards injuries caused by the petitioners as mentioned in para no. 11 of the Trial Court judgment. I have considered the issue. Crl. Rev. No. 512 of 1993 2 No illegality has been pointed out from the judgment of conviction. The injured received as many as 6 injuries including a fracture on the left ring finger. Learned counsel has also pointed out that the petitioners have already undergone 2-1/2 months of actual sentence. In my considered opinion, ends of justice would be met if the sentence is reduced to 6 months rigorous imprisonment. Ordered accordingly. Each of the petitioners are further directed to pay compensation to the injured namely Bhola Singh s/o Sohan Singh r/o Chak Ram Singh Wala, District Sangrur amounting to Rs. 10,000/-. In case the amount of compensation is not paid to Bhola Singh, the petitioners would undergo the sentence as awarded by the Appellate Court. The petitioners would be at liberty to deposit the amount of compensation with the Illaqa Magistrate for onward payment of the injured. Disposed of. 01.02.2010 (AJAI LAMBA) shivani JUDGE
