CRR No.236 of 2011 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.R. No.236 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : 29.03.2011 Vikramjit @ Vicky …Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI -.- Present: Mr. Gautam Thapar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Chandumajra, D.A.G., Punjab. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed against the concurrent conviction and sentence of the petitioner under Section 326 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that the petitioner has already undergone 5 months out of the total sentence of 2 years and that the petitioner is ready to compensate the injured victims. I find this to be a fair request. Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that the petitioner has learnt his lesson and any further incarceration may not have any reformative effect but CRR No.236 of 2011 (O&M) -2- may ultimately harden the petitioner. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to reduce the sentence of the petitioner to that he has already undergone even while enhancing the fine from Rs.2,000/- to Rs.30,000/- (Rs.28,000/- more to be deposited). The court would disburse the same to the injured victims equally. Ordered accordingly. The petitioner be released forthwith. In case the fine is not deposited within a period of 2 months from today the present revision shall be deemed to have been dismissed and the petitioner liable to be arrested to serve out remaining part of the sentence. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) March 29, 2011 JUDGE ashish
