Crl.Rev.No.2720 of 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Rev.No.2720 of 2008 Decided on: February 23, 2010. Shavinder Singh @ Shiva .. Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and others .. Respondents * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.G.S.Sandhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Arshvinder Singh, DAG, Punjab, for the respondent-State. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Complainant has preferred this revision petition against the order dated 15.09.2008, acquitting the respondents in a charge under Sections 7, 9 & 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the complainant has supported the prosecution case but merely because Darshan Singh recovery witness turned hostile, the respondent has been wrongly acquitted. . . . 1 Crl.Rev.No.2720 of 2008 I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the judgment of acquittal passed by the trial Court acquitting the respondent giving him benefit of doubt on appreciation of evidence. The trial Court while deciding the case has arrived at a conclusion that the respondent is entitled to benefit of doubt taking into consideration the defence evidence and other circumstances including an incident when another official of Punjab State Electricity Board was involved in a case of corruption as he did not do the work according to the desire of the petitioner. The said accused was acquitted by the Special Judge, Patiala. There are other circumstances also taken into consideration. Thus, taking into consideration all the circumstances, I do not find it a fit case for reappreciation of evidence for the purpose of arriving at a different conclusion than the one arrived at by the trial Court. Dismissed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE February 23, 2010. rka . . . 2
