Punjab-Haryana High Court<\/div>\n
Krishan Kumar vs State Of Punjab on 19 August, 2009<\/div>\n
Crl. Rev. No. 510 of 1998              1\n\n         IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA\n                      AT CHANDIGARH\n\n                            Crl. Rev. No.510 of 1998\n                            Decided on : 19-08-2009\n\nKrishan Kumar\n                                             ....Petitioner\n\n                     VERSUS\n\nState of Punjab\n                                             ....Respondent\n\n\nCORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER\n\n\nPresent:-     Mr. S.S.Siao, Advocate for the petitioner.\n\n              Mr. B.B.S.Teji, AAG, Punjab.\n\n\nMAHESH GROVER, J\n\n              This revision petition is directed against the judgments of\n\nAdditional Sessions Judge dated 12.5.1998 and that of the learned Trial\n\nCourt dated 4.2.1998.\n\n              The petitioner was convicted under the provisions of Section\n\n304 A IPC and was sentenced to undergo RI for two years and to pay a fine\n\nof Rs.1000\/- and in default to further undergo RI for two months.\n\n              Facts<\/pre>\n
 of the case are that deceased while going on a bicycle was<\/p>\n
hit by the bus driven by the petitioner as a result of which the complainant<\/p>\n
fell down on the kuchha side of the road while deceased who was alongwith<\/p>\n
him died. It was contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that<\/p>\n
judgments of both the Courts below are erroneous and are liable to be set<\/p>\n
aside. He has stated that no accident was caused with his bus and identity<\/p>\n
of the bus was not established. He also contended that the presence of the<\/p>\n
complainant at the spot was also doubtful. Reference was made to the
\n Crl. Rev. No. 510 of 1998              2<\/span><\/p>\n
report of the mechanic to say that the bus even if assumed to have been<\/p>\n
involved in the accident was mechanically defective as it was tilting towards<\/p>\n
one side. Therefore, driver-petitioner was not at fault.<\/p>\n
              On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent has<\/p>\n
contended that the accident is proved beyond any shadow of doubt. The<\/p>\n
petitioner has merely pleaded innocence but not shown as to how<\/p>\n
prosecution allegations were false. He further contended that photographs<\/p>\n
which are on record as Ex.P-4 to P-6 show that the bus had stopped at short<\/p>\n
distance from the spot of the accident which is also the case of the defence.<\/p>\n
It was next contended that in view of the overwhelming evidence petitioner<\/p>\n
cannot escape conviction and sentence. Further the bus belongs to Pepsu<\/p>\n
Road Transport Corporation which was a public sector undertaking and it<\/p>\n
was relatively easy for the petitioner to prove his innocence by showing that<\/p>\n
the bus was not plying on the said route or that he was not the driver of the<\/p>\n
bus at the time of accident. He further contended that in view of the<\/p>\n
overwhelming evidence on record, the present petition deserves to be<\/p>\n
dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
              I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have perused<\/p>\n
the impugned judgments and record.\n<\/p>\n
              The photographs which are on record as Ex.P-4 to P-6 show<\/p>\n
that the bus is standing at the spot of the accident. It is also the case of the<\/p>\n
prosecution that bus stopped at about 40-50 yards from the site of the<\/p>\n
accident and the driver remained at the spot. The deceased was taken to the<\/p>\n
hospital. In this view of the matter, there is hardly any ambiguity in the<\/p>\n
evidence recorded by the Courts below that the bus was involved and the<\/p>\n
petitioner was driving the said bus at the time of the accident. The plea of
\n Crl. Rev. No. 510 of 1998              3<\/span><\/p>\n
innocence which has been raised by the petitioner does not merit<\/p>\n
acceptance for the simple reason that the bus belongs to a public sector<\/p>\n
undertaking and it could have been proved by producing adequate evidence<\/p>\n
on record that the said bus was not involved in the accident and even if bus<\/p>\n
was involved, petitioner was not driver of the bus at the time of the<\/p>\n
accident. But no such evidence was led by the petitioner. In view of the<\/p>\n
fact that there is cogent evidence to prove the complicity of the petitioner in<\/p>\n
accident inviting conviction under Section 304A IPC, I am of the<\/p>\n
considered opinion that the present revision petition is totally devoid of any<\/p>\n
merit by looking at it from any angle. The report of the mechanic relied<\/p>\n
upon by the petitioner also does not show that the bus was defective and<\/p>\n
that accident was not caused by the said bus.          It is the case of the<\/p>\n
prosecution that deceased alongwith complainant was going on bicycle and<\/p>\n
bus has merely brushed on his elbow and he fell down and it resulted in his<\/p>\n
death. In such an eventuality when the bus has merely touched the elbow of<\/p>\n
the deceased who was on bicycle and got destablised by the impact, it could<\/p>\n
not be expected that the bus would be damaged. Therefore, the contention<\/p>\n
is rejected.\n<\/p>\n
               No ground to interfere. Dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
               At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner contends that<\/p>\n
the petitioner is a first offender and has not been involved in any other case.<\/p>\n
He further contends that considering the fact that accident took place in the<\/p>\n
year 1991 when the petitioner was 40 years of age and 18 years have passed<\/p>\n
since then, no fruitful purpose will be served by sending him to jail at this<\/p>\n
stage of life when he is just about to retire and is much advanced in age.<\/p>\n
               Court has considered this aspect of the matter and having
\n Crl. Rev. No. 510 of 1998              4<\/span><\/p>\n
regard to the aforesaid facts, I deem it appropriate to direct that the sentence<\/p>\n
of the petitioner is reduced to the extent of what he has already undergone<\/p>\n
and alternate sentence of fine is enhanced to Rs.50,000\/- considering the<\/p>\n
facts that he was 40 years of age at the time of accident and by now he has<\/p>\n
advanced in age and also considering the fact that he has faced the ordeal of<\/p>\n
criminal trial for last 18 years.\n<\/p>\n
              Amount of Rs.50,000\/- shall be paid to the family of the<\/p>\n
deceased. The said amount be deposited before the Trial Court within a<\/p>\n
period of two months from today and the same shall be disbursed to the<\/p>\n
L.Rs of the deceased after due verification.\n<\/p>\n
              However, it is made clear that in case the needful is not done<\/p>\n
within the stipulated period then the conviction and sentence awarded by<\/p>\n
the Courts below shall automatically stand revived.<\/p>\n
              Disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
