Criminal Revision No.1505 of 2005 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No.1505 of 2005. Date of Decision : 20.1.2011 Paramjit Singh ...... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Rajvir Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Ranvir S. Chauhan, DAG, Punjab, for the respondent-State. NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) This revision is directed against the judgment dated August 10th, 2005 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Jalandhar affirming the judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated September 17th, 2003 of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Jalandhar, whereby, the petitioner was convicted for the offence under Section 25 of the Arms Act and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months and to pay fine of Rs.500/- with default stipulation. 2. Allegations, in brief, against the petitioner are that on June 12th, 1999 he got recovered a Barchha allegedly used by him in the commission of crime in case bearing First Information Report No. 99 under Sections 323, 324, 342 and 427 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal code registered in Police Station Adampur. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that he does not challenge the conviction and prays for reduction of the sentence. 4. Indeed, the petitioner was also convicted for the offences under Sections 323 and 324 etc. IPC. The present case was offshoot of the said case. The Barchha was got recovered by Criminal Revision No.1505 of 2005 2 him in pursuance to the disclosure statement made by him in the said case. The petitioner is neither a previous convict nor has he indulged in any criminal activity before or after registration of this case. He has already undergone actual sentence of 19 days as per jail custody certificate (Annexure P-1). 5. The aforesaid circumstances are of mitigating nature and justify the request made. Hence, this Court upholds the conviction of the petitioner but reduces the sentence to the period already undergone by him. 6. The revision is accepted partly as indicated above.
