           Aggrieved against the same, the present appeal has been<\/p>\n

           The appellants were nominated as accused in case FIR No.<\/p>\n

they reached near the crossing of Sectors 37-38-40-41, then suddenly
\n Criminal Appeal No. 166-SB of 1996                                3<\/span><\/p>\n
an Ambassador car No. PUR 9555 came and stopped. Out of the car,<\/p>\n
four persons alighted, three of whom were Sikhs and one was Hindu.<\/p>\n
They started the car and boarded the same and proceeded. Raj Kumar<\/p>\n
and Avtar Singh also continued walking. After some distance car<\/p>\n
stopped. Those persons stopped the car, picked up Avtar Singh and<\/p>\n
took him in the car. Hue & cry was raised by the complainant. But those<\/p>\n
four persons paid no need to the noise raised by the complainant.<\/p>\n
Complainant ran to the S.T.D. Booth and dialed number 100. Dhan<\/p>\n
Raj, Sub Inspector came there and recorded statement of Raj Kumar<\/p>\n
Ex.PE. The accuse decamped from the spot in car along with Avtar<\/p>\n
Singh.\n<\/p>\n
         The matter was investigated. Report under Section 173<\/p>\n
Cr.P.C. was submitted.\n<\/p>\n
         Thereafter the case was committed to the Court of Sessions<\/p>\n
Judge, Chandigarh.\n<\/p>\n
         All the four appellants were charged for offence under<\/p>\n
Sections 365 IPC on the ground that on 12.3.1992 in furtherance of<\/p>\n
common intention they      kidnapped Avtar Singh        for secretly and<\/p>\n
wrongfully confining him. The appellants were also charged for the<\/p>\n
offence under Section 367 for putting Avtar Singh in danger of being<\/p>\n
subjected to grievous hurt. They were also charged for the offence<\/p>\n
under Section 325 IPC for causing grievous injuries to Avtar Singh.<\/p>\n
         The appellants did not plead guilty and claimed trial.<\/p>\n
         Prosecution examined Dr.P.D. Jain, Radiologist, as PW.1 who<\/p>\n
stated that on 13.1.1992 Avtar Singh was referred by Dr. M.P. Singh,<\/p>\n
Medical Officer, General Hospital, Sector 16, Chandigarh. He conducted
\n Criminal Appeal No. 166-SB of 1996                             4<\/span><\/p>\n
radiological examination of Avtar Singh and found fracture of the nasal<\/p>\n
bone.\n<\/p>\n
         Dr.M.P. Singh, Medical Officer, appeared as PW.2. He stated<\/p>\n
that on 12.3.1992 at about 11.50 P.M. he examined Avrtar Singh and<\/p>\n
found eight injuries. The injured complaint pain in his left thumb but<\/p>\n
there was no external mark of injury. Injury No.2 is    contusion on right<\/p>\n

         Complainant Raj Kumar appeared as PW.3. He reiterated the<\/p>\n
allegations that on 12.3.1992 he had gone for a walk at night along with<\/p>\n
Avtar Singh. Three Sikh gentlemen and two Hindu persons came there.<\/p>\n
They had kidnapped Avtar Singh and he informed the police by giving a<\/p>\n
call at number 100. He further stated that at about 10.15 or 10.30 P.M.<\/p>\n
the car appeared from the side of Mohali. It was stopped by the police.<\/p>\n
Avtar Singh was raising noise by “BACHAO BACHAO” from the car. All<\/p>\n
the four accused and Avtar Singh came out of the car.<\/p>\n
         Avtar Singh, injured, appeared as PW.4. He also stated that<\/p>\n
he was taking a walk along with Raj Kumar at 9.00 P.M. when car came.<\/p>\n
Four persons alighted from the car. He was pushed in the car and was<\/p>\n
taken away by them. He further stated that after he was lifted by the<\/p>\n
accused in the car he was manhandled, beaten and humiliated. The
\n Criminal Appeal No. 166-SB of 1996                             5<\/span><\/p>\n
cause of the grudge was that Ravi Kumar told him that few days ago<\/p>\n
Avtar Singh had quarreled with him and had snatched a chain.<\/p>\n
         Rajbir Singh, Constable, appeared as PW.5 and proved copy<\/p>\n
of Daily Diary Report No. 46 which was exhibited as Ex.PG.<\/p>\n
         Dhan Raj, Sub Inspector, appeared as PW.6. He stated that<\/p>\n
he stopped the car, arrested the accused and found Avtar Singh and<\/p>\n
had recorded the statement of complainant.\n<\/p>\n
         Thereafter, prosecution closed its evidence.<\/p>\n
         Statements of accused under Section 313 Cr.PC. were<\/p>\n
recorded. They denied all the incriminated circumstances put to them<\/p>\n
and they stated that they are innocent and they had old enmity with<\/p>\n
Avtar Singh.\n<\/p>\n
         Accused Balinder Kumar, Rajinder Singh and Harnek Singh<\/p>\n
stated that they have been falsely implicated. Balinder Kumar is owner<\/p>\n
of the truck. Harnek Singh was Driver and Rajinder Singh was Cleaner<\/p>\n
of the truck. They were picked up from their village on 12.3.1992.<\/p>\n
         Accused examined Avtar Singh as DW.1 to state that on<\/p>\n
12.3.1992, Chandigarh Police had taken in the evening three persons<\/p>\n
from the village namely Rajinder Singh, Balwinder Singh and Harnek<\/p>\n
Singh.\n<\/p>\n
         Sukhdev Singh, Lambardar,        appeared as DW.2. He also<\/p>\n
reiterated what has been stated by Avtar Singh, DW.1.<\/p>\n
         Mr.Goel appearing for the appellants has drawn my<\/p>\n
attention to the statement of Avtar Singh PW-4 wherein it has been<\/p>\n
stated that a nalla passes through Dara Studio where the accused
\n Criminal Appeal No. 166-SB of 1996                          6<\/span><\/p>\n
took him after kidnapping. He further stated that he never knew<\/p>\n
any of the accused prior to the occurrence. Accused Ravi Kumar<\/p>\n
was asking him that he had stolen his chain. The witness has<\/p>\n
further stated that he never knew whether Ravi Kumar was<\/p>\n
wearing chain or not. He further stated that that it was correct that<\/p>\n
when Ravi Kumar was arrested, he was wearing the chain which<\/p>\n
was recovered by the police from Ravi Kumar. Mr.Goel state that<\/p>\n
it was trivial dispute over the gold chain and the beatings have<\/p>\n
been given to Avtar Singh and no kidnapping had taken place. It<\/p>\n
has been further contended that prosecution has failed to prove<\/p>\n
identity of the accused. In the present case, accused-appellants<\/p>\n
were arrested at the spot. Therefore, the argument that<\/p>\n
identification parade was not carried will pale into insignificance as<\/p>\n
at the time of occurrence, the victim was also found with the<\/p>\n
accused.\n<\/p>\n
           Mr.Goel has further stated that in the present case, the<\/p>\n
occurrence had taken place on 12.3.1992 and a period of 17 years<\/p>\n
is going to elapse, therefore, the appellants should be given the<\/p>\n
benefit of protracted trial and they should be released on<\/p>\n
probation. He has further submitted that during the last 17 years,<\/p>\n
appellants have committed no offence and have been leading a<\/p>\n
life of honest peaceful citizen. He submit that keeping in view the<\/p>\n
aforesaid, the appellants be released on probation as one of the<\/p>\n
accused, namely, Ravi Kumar is in Government service and is
\n Criminal Appeal No. 166-SB of 1996                           7<\/span><\/p>\n
likely to loose his job.\n<\/p>\n
          I have given my thoughtful         consideration       to the<\/p>\n
submissions made by Mr.Goel. Besides conduct, gravity of the<\/p>\n
offence is also to be considered. In the present, appellants have<\/p>\n
been convicted for offence under Section 365 IPC, therefore, they<\/p>\n
cannot be released on probation.             However, taking into<\/p>\n
consideration the protracted trial, their sentence is reduced from<\/p>\n
three years to one year.\n<\/p>\n
                    In view of the modification in order of sentence,<\/p>\n
the present appeal stands disposed off.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
