CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Satnam Singh Gill, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Manoj Bajaj, Additional Advocate General, Punjab . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) 1. This petition challenges judgment of conviction and order of sentence recorded by the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Patiala, on 18.11.2010 and judgment dated 6.9.2011 passed by the lower Appellate Court confirming the judgment and order of sentence passed by the Trial Court. 2. The petitioners have been convicted and sentenced as under:- Criminal Revision No.2317 of 2011 [2] Amrinder Kumar @ Kaka (petitioner No.1) Sr. No. Under Section Sentence Fine In default 1 452 IPC To undergo RI for one year Rs.500/- To undergo SI for one month 2. 323 IPC To undergo RI for six months -- - Vinod Kumar (petitioner No.2) Sr. No. Under Section Sentence Fine In default 1 452 IPC To undergo RI for one year Rs.500/- To undergo SI for one month 2. 323 IPC To undergo RI for six months -- - Shakuntla Devi (petitioner No.3) Sr. No. Under Section Sentence Fine In default 1 452 IPC To undergo RI for one year Rs.500/- To undergo SI for one month 2. 323 IPC To undergo RI for six months -- - 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the revision is not pressed on merits. Quantum of sentence, however, be considered and leniency be shown in view of the fact that petitioner No.3 is a lady. The petitioners are facing the rigours of trial since 2002 viz. approximately 9 years. The injuries caused are simple in nature i.e. only abrasions. 4. I have considered the contentions of learned Criminal Revision No.2317 of 2011 [3] counsel. 5. In my considered opinion ends of justice would be met if the sentence is reduced to 8 months rigorous imprisonment under Section 452 IPC, as under:- Amrinder Kumar @ Kaka (petitioner No.1) Sr. No. Under Section Sentence Fine In default 1 452 IPC To undergo RI for 8 months Rs.500/- To undergo SI for one month 2. 323 IPC To undergo RI for six months -- - Vinod Kumar (petitioner No.2) Sr. No. Under Section Sentence Fine In default 1 452 IPC To undergo RI for 8 months Rs.500/- To undergo SI for one month 2. 323 IPC To undergo RI for six months -- - Shakuntla Devi (petitioner No.3) Sr. No. Under Section Sentence Fine In default 1 452 IPC To undergo RI for 8 months Rs.500/- To undergo SI for one month 2. 323 IPC To undergo RI for six months -- - 6. With the above modification in sentence, the revision petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) October 14, 2011 JUDGE avin Criminal Revision No.2317 of 2011 [4] 1.
