upheld the conviction of the accused petitioner passed by the learned
Additional Judicial Magistrate No.2, Bharatpur. The petitioner was
convicted and sentenced to three months simple imprisonment with a fine
of Rs. 250/ - and in default of payment of fine, to undergo one month's
simple imprisonment for offence under Section 279 IPC and three months
simple imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 250/ - and in default of payment of

Section 337 IPC and for offence under Section 304 -A IPC, he was sentenced
to one year's rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 500/ - and in
default of payment of fine, to undergo three months simple imprisonment.
(2.) I have heard learned counsel for the accused petitioner, as well as learned Public Prosecutor and also perused the record.
The facts of the case in brief may be narrated as follows: - On 26 -6 -1991 Samunder Singh lodged a report at Police Station
Sewar, District Bharatpur to the effect that at about 7.30 p.m. his sons
Ravinder and Bharat Singh were returning from the well of Kishan Singh
after taking their bath. When they reached their field at the same time
Tractor No. RRD -7384 alongwith trolley driven by Shiv Singh came with
high speed and dashed against both the children. Ravinder died at the
spot as he was crushed by the front wheel and Bharat Singh suffered some
injuries. It were Shiv Singh, Pool Singh and Kartar Singh who saw the
incident. The police after having registered the case under various
sections and challaned the accused petitioner and the learned Magistrate
after holding trial convicted the accused petitioner as stated above. He
filed an appeal which was dismissed. Hence this revision.
(3.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner submitted that he was conscious that in revisions, re -appreciation of evidence can be done only
when there are some salient features by which it appear that injustice
has been caused and they are brought to the notice of the Court. He
submitted that in this case the witnesses have stated that there was no
fault of the accused petitioner and that the boy suddenly came in front
of the tractor. With the help of the learned counsel for the petitioner
as well as learned Public Prosecutor, I have gone through the entire
evidence.;
