Shergill, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. O.P. Dabla, DAG, Punjab. A.N. Jindal, J.(Oral) Charge against the petitioner is that he was found in possession of a stolen scooter bearing Chassis No.06B95517539 and Engine No.06P9SJ- 18076 and he also received another stolen scooter bearing Chassis Number 06B95517539 and Engine No.06P9SJ18076. The petitioner was charged and tried. Ultimately, he was convicted and sentenced. His appeal also failed. The recovery of scooter bearing Chassis Number 06B95517539 and Engine No.06P9SJ18076 is proved whereas the recovery of other scooter is not proved. However, without assailing the judgment of conviction, counsel for the petitioner has urged for extending some leniency on the quantum of sentence. On scrutiny of the records, it transpires that the occurrence took place way back in the year 1998. The recovery of only one scooter stands proved whereas the other scooter appears to have been planted upon him. He has already suffered a lot of agony due to the pendency of proceedings in the Courts and has already undergone somewhat less than three months of the - 1- Crl. Revision No.2164 of 2004 substantive sentence. Admittedly, he is the first offender. Under these circumstances, it would be in the fitness of things if the sentence, awarded against him, is reduced to three months without alteration in the sentence of fine. Ordered accordingly. Copy of the order be sent to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ferozepur, for compliance. 08.12.2010 (A.N. JINDAL) vcgarg JUDGE - 2-
