1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B.CRIMINAL MISC. PETITION NO. 1053/2007 (State of Rajasthan Vs. Santokh Singh) Date of Order : 10/10/2007 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.R.PANWAR By Post. Mr. Ashok Upadhyay, public prosecutor. BY THE COURT:- A communication dated 31.5.2007 has been received by post from Additional Sessions Judge, Raisinghnagar, district Sriganganagar stating therein that appellant Santokh Singh in S.B.Criminal Appeal No.449/82 “Santokh Singh & Anr. Vs. State” which came to be decided by this Court vide judgment dated 06.07.1999 while maintaining his conviction and amount of fine, was released since the sentence of imprisonment was reduced to that of the period of sentence of imprisonment already undergone by him, however, the fine amount of Rs. 200/- was maintained. Accused Santokh Singh has died without depositing the fine amount. The amount is irrecoverable and therefore, sought the permission to write off the said amount. 2 Rule 119 of the General Rules (Criminal), 1980 deals with irrecoverable amounts and provides to write off the amount as irrecoverable amount if it appears that such amount cannot be recovered. Since the fine has been imposed by the trial court and has been maintained by the appellate court and accused appellant Santokh Singh without depositing the fine amount has already expired, in my view, the amount of fine amounting to Rs.200/- is irrecoverable and therefore, the court below is permitted to write off the said amount. With the above observations, the petition stands disposed of. (H.R.PANWAR),J. Rp
