Cr.A No.213/1993 22.04.2008 Present: Mr. P.K. Sharma, Additional Advocate General, with Mr. P.M. Negi, Deputy Advocate General, for the appellant. Respondents-convicts Devinder Kumar and Roshan Lal in person. Mr. N.K. Thakur, counsel for the respondents- convicts. We have been told that one of the three respondents, namely Anil Kumar, has passed away. Therefore, the matter as against him abates. We have heard respondents-convicts Devinder Kumar and Roshan Lal on the question of quantum of sentence. They have stated that they have not been convicted of any offence in the past and that they have to support their family members, including young children. Looking to the facts and the circumstances of the case, particularly the fact that a man in uniform was assaulted and caused grievous hurt when he was trying to restore the vehicular traffic on the road, we do not think the respondents-convicts deserve to be given benefit of the provisions of the Probation of Offenders Act or the provisions of 360 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Consequently, they are sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each; in default of payment of fine to undergo simple imprisonment for a further period of three months. Jail warrants be prepared accordingly. …2… Cr.A No.213/1993 Copies of the judgment and of this order be supplied to each of the two respondents-convicts, free of cost. ( Surjit Singh ), J.
