CRR No.2976 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.R. No.2976 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision : 02.02.2011 Bhagwant Singh and others …Petitioners Versus State of Haryana …Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI -.- Present: Mr. Sarfarj Hussain, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. J.S. Rattu, D.A.G., Haryana. *** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? AJAY TEWARI, J. This petition has been filed against the conviction of the petitioners under Sections 186/34 IPC and Sections 353/34 IPC in case F.I.R. No.82 dated 30.3.1999 registered at P.S. Tauru, District Mewat. Custody certificate filed in Court is taken on record. CRR No.2976 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Learned counsel for the petitioners has not been able to substantiate the argument that the conviction is in any way defective. However, he states that the petitioners have suffered more than half of the sentence which has been imposed on them. As per custody certificate placed on record this fact has been corroborated as the petitioners have been suffered more than 3 months 4 days out of the total sentence of 6 months. He further argued that the petitioners have suffered the trial for more than 10 years. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate, even while upholding the conviction of the petitioners, to reduce the sentence of the petitioners to that they have already undergone. Ordered accordingly. Petitioners be released forthwith. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) February 02, 2011 JUDGE ashish
