PAWAN KUMAR Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY this common judgment, I shall be disposing of two cases, being Criminal Appeal No. 273-SB of 1995 filed by the appellant against his conviction and sentence and Criminal Revision No. 752 of 1995 filed by the complainant praying for grant of compensation and enhancement of sentence qua the present appellant and further for awarding appropriate sentence to another accused namely Bhushan Kumar, who had been acquitted of the charge by the trial Court, together as they arise out of the same impugned judgment dated 22.4.1995 passed by Sessions Judge, Faridkot.

(2.) THIS appeal is directed against the judgment dated 22.4.1995 passed by Sessions Judge, Faridkot, vide which he convicted the appellant under Section 304 Part-II of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years and he was ordered to pay a fine of Rs. 1,000/-; in default thereof, he was directed to further undergo imprisonment for a period of six months. However, both the accused were acquitted of the charges framed under Sections 302/34 and 325 of the Indian Penal Code.

(3.) SINCE the prayer made by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant has been restricted only on the quantum of sentence, therefore, I do not consider it necessary to recapitulate the facts again in the judgment herein, since they have been narrated in the judgment of the trial Court in details.
