judgment dated 1.4.2002. Hence, this revision petition.<\/p>\n
            FIR was recorded at the instance of Jagjit Singh (PW1). In his<\/p>\n
statement he has deposed as under:-\n<\/p>\n
            “that he is resident of village Akalgarh and doing the service in<\/p>\n
            army. They are three brothers and doing farming work jointly.<\/p>\n
            Yesterday night i.e. on 23.10.95 at about 8.00\/ 9.00 Gurdip<\/p>\n
            Singh son of Kaur Singh Mistry came at the house of the
\n Criminal Revision No.746 of 2002                              4<\/span><\/p>\n
           complainant for doing white wash in their house. Complainant<\/p>\n
           further stated that his elder brother Sukhdev Singh accompanied<\/p>\n
           the above said Gurdip Singh to drop him at his house. When the<\/p>\n
           brother of the complainant namely Sukhdev Singh and Gurdip<\/p>\n
           Singh reached near the house of Babbi Singh son of Jit Singh<\/p>\n
           majbi, there Babbi Singh, Pamma Singh and Geeta Singh all<\/p>\n
           sons of Jeet Singh were standing near their house and of<\/p>\n
           Mander Singh having Gandasas and dangs.          On seeing the<\/p>\n
           brother of the complainant accused Babbi Singh extorted<\/p>\n
           Lalkara by saying that today Sukhdev Singh should not go<\/p>\n
           escaped. He should be taught lesson for falsely implicating in<\/p>\n
           theft case.   Complainant further stated that on hearing the<\/p>\n
           lalkara he also ran to the place of occurrence. He stated that in<\/p>\n
           the meantime accused Babby Singh gave gandas blow towards<\/p>\n
           the head of Sukhdev Singh which hit on the right side of his<\/p>\n
           head. Pamma Singh gave blow with his gandasa blow towards<\/p>\n
           Sukhdev Singh and in defence Sukhdev Singh raised his left arm<\/p>\n
           and the blow of gandasa hit on his left arm. Gurdip Singh<\/p>\n
           started raising noise by saying NA MARO NA MARO and fell on<\/p>\n
           Sukhdev Singh. Complainant further stated that he also fell on<\/p>\n
           Sukhdev Singh to rescue him. Complainant further stated that<\/p>\n
           when they were lying on Sukhdev Singh, accused Geeta Singh<\/p>\n
           gave blow with dang on the arm and accused Babbi Singh and<\/p>\n
           Gurmit Singh gave blow on head which hit on the left side of his<\/p>\n
           head. Complainant further stated that when they were rescuing

             them also the accused gave other injuries with their weapons on<\/p>\n
             the person of Sukhdev Singh. He further stated that if they have<\/p>\n
             not rescued his brother Sukhdev Singh accused might have<\/p>\n
             caused more injuries. Accused ran away with their weapons.”<\/p>\n
             After recording FIR, the investigating officer went to the spot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In   the   meantime,   the    injured   were   medico-legally   examined   by<\/p>\n
Dr.M.L.Aswani (PW4).\n<\/p>\n
             On completion of investigation, final report was put in Court for<\/p>\n
trial. The petitioners -accused were charge sheeted, to which, they pleaded<\/p>\n
not guilty and claimed trial. The prosecution produced six witnesses and also<\/p>\n
brought on record documentary evidence to prove its case.       However, they<\/p>\n
led no evidence in defence.\n<\/p>\n
             On conclusion of evidence as produced by the parties, the trial<\/p>\n
Court convicted and sentenced the petitioners as found mentioned in earlier<\/p>\n
part of this order. Petitioners partly succeeded in appeal.<\/p>\n
             At the time of arguments, it was brought to the notice of this<\/p>\n
Court that main accused, namely, Jagtar Singh @ Babbi, who was<\/p>\n
substantively punished for commission of offences under Sections 326, 325,<\/p>\n
324 IPC, has already undergone sentence awarded to him. The petitioners<\/p>\n
were convicted and sentenced for the above said offences with the aid of<\/p>\n
Section 34 IPC.\n<\/p>\n
             Counsel for the petitioners has failed to convince this Court so<\/p>\n
far as merits of the case are concerned. Vivid eye witness account has been<\/p>\n
given by Jagjit Singh (PW1), Sukhdev Singh (PW2) and Gurdip Singh
\n Criminal Revision No.746 of 2002                                6<\/span><\/p>\n
(PW3). Oral testimony has been corroborated by Dr.M.L.Aswani, who has<\/p>\n
medico legally examined the above said injured witnesses.<\/p>\n
             Otherwise also, their Lordships of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in<\/p>\n
Raj Kumar v. State of H.P., 2008(3) R.C.R. (Criminal) 611, has opined that in<\/p>\n
criminal revision, scope to interfere in the judgments passed by the Courts<\/p>\n
below, is very limited.\n<\/p>\n
             Faced with the situation, counsel for the petitioners has<\/p>\n
contended that the petitioners were the first offenders. After their conviction<\/p>\n
in this case, they have not involved themselves into any other crime of the<\/p>\n
like nature. Now they are living life of disciplined citizens. He has further<\/p>\n
stated that the occurrence had taken place in the year 1995. The petitioners<\/p>\n
are facing criminal prosecution for the last more than 13 years. In the process<\/p>\n
they have suffered mentally and financially as well. He has further stated that<\/p>\n
the petitioners and the injured were co-villagers. By this time, the parties<\/p>\n
might have forgotten about the sad incident and if at this stage, they are sent<\/p>\n
behind the bars, it will revive old enmity between them and will not be<\/p>\n
conducive for peace and harmony in the village. He prayed that leniency be<\/p>\n
shown to the petitioners, who are young and the only bread winners for their<\/p>\n
families.\n<\/p>\n
             After hearing counsel for the parties, this Court feels that<\/p>\n
purpose of criminal law justice system is not only to punish an erring<\/p>\n
individual but also to give an opportunity to him to reform himself. It is<\/p>\n
apparent from the records that the petitioners are suffering agony of pending<\/p>\n
litigation since 1996. They were young at the time when accident had taken<\/p>\n
place and the only bread winners of their families.       They have already
\n Criminal Revision No.746 of 2002                                     7<\/span><\/p>\n
undergone more than 4 months of actual sentence. Contention of counsel for<\/p>\n
the petitioners that if at this stage, they are sent behind the bars, not only they<\/p>\n
but their entire families will suffer, appears to be correct.<\/p>\n
                 Their Lordships of the Supreme Court in Karamjit Singh<\/p>\n
versus State(Delhi Admn.), 2001 (9) Supreme Court Cases 161, observed as<\/p>\n
under:-\n<\/p>\n
                               “Punishment in criminal cases is both punitive<\/p>\n
          and reformative. The purpose is that the person found guilty of<\/p>\n
          committing the offence is made to realise his fault and is deterred<\/p>\n
          from repeating such acts in future. The reformative aspect is<\/p>\n
          meant to enable the person concerned to relent and repent for his<\/p>\n
          action and make himself acceptable to the society as a useful<\/p>\n
          social being.    In determining the question of proper punishment<\/p>\n
          in a criminal case, the court has to weigh the degree of culpability<\/p>\n
          of the accused, its effect on others and              the desirability of<\/p>\n
          showing   any leniency in      the    matter   of punishment in the<\/p>\n
          case. An act of balancing is, what is needed in such case:             a<\/p>\n
          balance between the interest of the individual and the concern of<\/p>\n
          the society;    weighing the one against the other. Imposing a<\/p>\n
          hard punishment on the accused serves a limited purpose but at<\/p>\n
          the same time, it is to be kept in mind that relevance of deterrent<\/p>\n
          punishment in matters of serious crimes affecting society should not<\/p>\n
          be undermined. Within the parameters of the law an attempt has<\/p>\n
          to be made to afford an opportunity to the individual to reform<\/p>\n
          himself and lead the life of a normal, useful member of society and<\/p>\n
          make his contribution in that regard. Denying such opportunity
\n Criminal Revision No.746 of 2002                                8<\/span><\/p>\n
        to a person who has been found to have committed offence in the<\/p>\n
        facts and circumstances placed on record, would only have a<\/p>\n
        hardening attitude towards his fellow beings and towards society at<\/p>\n
        large. Such a situation, has to be avoided, again within the<\/p>\n
        permissible limits of law.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             In Tarak Nath Singh and another v. State of West Bengal 1998<\/p>\n
(1) Supreme Court Cases (Criminal) 587, their Lordships of Hon’ble<\/p>\n
Supreme Court, keeping in view the fact that the occurrence took place 18<\/p>\n
years earlier to the decision of appeal and the parties were relatives, reduced<\/p>\n
the sentence to the period already undergone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             Similar is the opinion expressed by a Division Bench of this<\/p>\n
Court in Stae of Punjab v. Gurmail Singh<\/a> 2002(2) R.C.R. (Criminal) 600. In<\/p>\n
that case, in an appeal against acquittal, accused were convicted, however,<\/p>\n
they were sentenced to a term of imprisonment already undergone, keeping in<\/p>\n
view the fact that incident had occurred in the year 1981.<\/p>\n
             To the same effect is the opinion of this Court in Chhota Singh<\/p>\n
v. State of Punjab<\/a> 1998(1) R.C.R. (Criminal) 467.<\/p>\n
                Keeping in view facts and circumstances of this case and<\/p>\n
ratio of judgments mentioned above, conviction of the petitioners is upheld,<\/p>\n
however, sentence of imprisonment awarded to them is reduced to the already<\/p>\n
undergone by them.\n<\/p>\n
                With above mentioned modification, this revision petition<\/p>\n
stands disposed of.\n<\/p>\n
