Dissatisfied<br \/>\nwith the sentence, the appellants have preferred the instant appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Brief facts are that Vijay Kumar, a resident of village Nawa<br \/>\nSehar who was employed with Indian Army and was posted at Srinagar, had<br \/>\nbeen availing long leave. His father Surjit Singh was working as a peon<br \/>\nwith Jagdholi school. On 13.09.1993 at about 6 A.M., his father Surjit Singh<br \/>\ncame out of his house for going towards the fields for easing himself. Mehar<br \/>\nChand had engaged his daughter Sukh Devi at village Khera on 10.09.1993.<br \/>\nThose people of Khera village came to village Nawa Sehar and they refused<br \/>\nto accept her as the bride. Mehar Chand and his brothers suspected Surjit,<br \/>\nfather of Vijay Kumar complainant to have done the back biting. For this<br \/>\nenemity his father Surjit was intercepted by the accused on his way to the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Crl.

He exhorted<br \/>\nhis companions not to spare Surjit for the back biting. Mehar Chand was<br \/>\nhaving gandasi in his hand. He rushed towards Surjit Singh. Surjit Singh<br \/>\nhowever ran towards his house. However they could not enter the house and<br \/>\nMehar Chand gave a blow with gandasi on the head of Surjit Singh. Ashok<br \/>\nKumar gave two blows with his gandasi on the head of Surjit Singh. Narata<br \/>\nand Parshada who were having lathis in their hands started giving blows<br \/>\nwith the same to his father. Vijay Kumar and his cousin Roshan Lal who<br \/>\nwere there inside the house were attracted. They rushed out of the house and<br \/>\nsaw the occurrence just outside of their house. Parshada gave two blows<br \/>\nwith his lathi and Narata gave one blow with his lathi to Vijay Kumar. Roop<br \/>\nChand who happened to pass by saw the occurrence and rescued the injured<br \/>\nfrom the hands of the accused. Vijay Kumar gave blows to the accused in<br \/>\nhis self defence. He and his father Surjit Singh were brought to Civil<br \/>\nHospital Jagadhari. On receipt of rukka from the Civil Hospital Jagadhari<br \/>\nKuldeep Singh H.C. went to the Civil Hospital and on his application Surjit<br \/>\nSingh was declared unfit to make statement. He recorded the statement of<br \/>\nVijay Kumar and sent the same with his endorsement to the police-station<br \/>\non which the case was registered by Gian Chand MHC. Kuldeep Singh H.C.<br \/>\nthen recorded the statement of Roshan Lal. He inspected the spot and<br \/>\nprepared rough site plan of the place of occurrence. He also recorded the<br \/>\nstatement of Roop Chand u\\s 161 Cr.P.C. He received the report of X-Ray<br \/>\nof the injuries of Surjit Singh on 22.09.1993, he recorded the statement of<br \/>\nSurjit Singh on 23.09.1993 after Surjit Singh was declared fit to make<br \/>\nstatement. Injuries nos. 1 to 3 of Surjit Singh were declared dangerous to<br \/>\nlife and section 307 I.P.C. was added to the case. The investigation then was<br \/>\nhanded over to Harinder Singh ASI on 27.09.1991. The accused were<br \/>\narrested. At the time of arrest the weapons of offence were produced by the<br \/>\naccused and were recovered by Harinder Singh ASI. The opinion of the<br \/>\ndoctor regarding the injuries of Surjit Singh being caused by gandasi was<br \/>\nobtained. Surjit Singh had handed over his clothes to Harinder Singh ASI<br \/>\non 1.10.1993 which were sealed. On completion of investigation challan<br \/>\nagainst the accused was prepared by Zile Singh S.I.\n<\/p>\n<p>            To substantiate the charges against the appellant, the<br \/>\nprosecution examined PW-1 Om Parkash, PW-2 Roop Chand, PW-3 Vijay<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Crl.

In defence, they examined Dr.Rajbir Singh<br \/>\n            After hearing the parties, the learned trial Court, however, on<br \/>\nthe basis of evidence brought on record, convicted the appellants under<br \/>\nSection 307\/323 IPC and sentenced them in the manner indicated above.<br \/>\nHence, the instant appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>            I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have also<br \/>\ngone through the record carefully.\n<\/p>\n<p>            Counsel for the appellants has confined his argument for<br \/>\nreduction of sentence. Stress is that Narata Ram, Mehar Chand and Ashok<br \/>\nKumar have undergone 4 months of sentence and so as Ram Parshad two<br \/>\nmonths of sentence and they are facing the agony of trial since 1997. The<br \/>\narguments have been scanned. The purpose of criminal law justice is to<br \/>\nbring discipline, peace and harmony in the society and also to give an<br \/>\nopportunity to an erring individual to reform himself. In appropriate cases,<br \/>\nleniency be shown and opportunity is required to be given to the accused to<br \/>\nreform themselves by adopting reformative approach. It is not in dispute<br \/>\nthat the parties are co-villagers. It has also not been indicated that during<br \/>\nall these years,   they had any further tiff among themselves.         If the<br \/>\nappellants are sent behind bars, it will revive the old enmity between the<br \/>\nparties in the village. They have already suffered agony of long trial\/appeal<br \/>\nfor the last more than 11 years.     Therefore, it would be expedient in the<br \/>\ninterest of justice to take a lenient view that the sentence awarded to the<br \/>\naccused deserves to be modified and the injured-complainants can be<br \/>\ngranted compensation.\n<\/p>\n<p>                   For the foregoing reasons, the sentence awarded to the<br \/>\nappellants stands reduced to the period already undergone by them. It is<br \/>\nfurther made clear that the appellants shall pay Rs.20,000\/- each as<br \/>\ncompensation to    the   injured persons, namely, Surjit Singh and Vijay<br \/>\nKumar, within three months from today failing which the appeal shall be<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Crl.
