The complainant had been alleging that the land<\/p>\n<p>measuring 13 kanals had been got transferred by his brother Gurdev Singh<\/p>\n<p>through fraud from their father. As a result the dispute the land had been<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                            Crl.R. No.363 of 2004                          -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>lying vacant for the last 2 years. On 2.12.1996, Gurdev Singh, Sukhwinder<\/p>\n<p>Singh (the present petitioner), Jeeta Singh and Jagga Singh armed with<\/p>\n<p>dangs started ploughing the vacant land with Zitter Tractor. The<\/p>\n<p>complainant Mukand Singh and his wife Sinder Kaur tried to restrain the<\/p>\n<p>accused from ploughing the land. They told the accused that as the land in<\/p>\n<p>dispute was under litigation, therefore, they should wait for the Court<\/p>\n<p>verdict. This infuriated the accused who inflicted kulhari and dang blows<\/p>\n<p>upon the complainant. The wife of the complainant Sinder Kaur was also<\/p>\n<p>given kulhari blow by Gurdev Singh which hit her on the head and another<\/p>\n<p>blow on the left upper arm of Sinder Kaur. The complainant and his wife<\/p>\n<p>raised raula, as a result of which the accused ran away towards the city. The<\/p>\n<p>trial Court after going through the entire evidence led in the case convicted<\/p>\n<p>the accused. However, the appellate Court released Gurdev Singh, father, on<\/p>\n<p>probation as he was 72 years of age and as far as accused Jagga Singh and<\/p>\n<p>Jeeta Singh were concerned, they were found to be juveniles of 13 and 15<\/p>\n<p>years of age, respectively and although were convicted on the point of<\/p>\n<p>sentence. They were ordered to be let out after due admonition and the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner Sukhwinder Singh was convicted as mentioned in the opening<\/p>\n<p>paragraph. The motive for causing injuries on Mukand Singh was that the<\/p>\n<p>accused wanted to plough the land which had been mutated in their favour<\/p>\n<p>on the basis of a Will regarding which civil litigation was going on. They<\/p>\n<p>came on their Zeetar Tractor, but, however, was stopped by the complainant<\/p>\n<p>and his wife that as litigation before the Civil Courts is pending, therefore,<\/p>\n<p>till such time the same is not decided, they cannot plough the land. This act<\/p>\n<p>of complainant and his wife infuriated the accused to cause injuries to them.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">            Mr. Daldeep Singh, appearing on behalf of the petitioner has<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                           Crl.R. No.363 of 2004                          -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>submitted that he does not wish to challenge the findings of the both the<\/p>\n<p>Courts below as far as conviction of the petitioner is concerned.        He,<\/p>\n<p>however, submits that that as the incident took place as far back on<\/p>\n<p>2.12.1996, and as more than 12 years have elapsed since the date of<\/p>\n<p>incident, therefore a lenient view be taken as far as sentence of petitioner<\/p>\n<p>Sukhwinder Singh is concerned. Learned counsel further submits that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has already undergone more than 2 months of imprisonment. It<\/p>\n<p>has lastly been contended by the counsel for the petitioner that the injury<\/p>\n<p>inflicted on the complainant was with a blunt weapon and therefore,<\/p>\n<p>sentence of the petitioner be reduced to the one already undergone by him,<\/p>\n<p>however, the Court may determine the compensation to be paid to the<\/p>\n<p>complainant.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">            The argument of the counsel for the petitioner is vehemently<\/p>\n<p>opposed by the counsel for the State. He submits that the petitioner does<\/p>\n<p>not deserve any leniency as he has caused grievous injury on the<\/p>\n<p>complainant.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">            After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the<\/p>\n<p>considered opinion that only one blow has been inflicted with a blunt<\/p>\n<p>weapon by the petitioner on the forearm of the complainant Mukand Singh.<\/p>\n<p>As the injury is on the non-vital part of the body and as the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>suffered the agony of long and protracted trial and as he has been in custody<\/p>\n<p>for 2 months, therefore, ends of justice would be met if the sentence of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is reduced to the one already undergone by him. Therefore, while<\/p>\n<p>upholding the conviction of the petitioner as ordered by the Addl. Sessions<\/p>\n<p>Judge, Bathinda I reduce the sentence of the petitioner to the already<\/p>\n<p>undergone by him.
