NEETIKA TUTEJA 2025.03.26 17:47 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRR-2207-2013 -2- 4. However as far as the impugned order of sentence is concerned it is noced that peoners were sentenced for a period of one year and to pay fine of ₹3,000/- with default sentence of three months rigorous imprisonment each in case of non-payment of fine under Secon 427 IPC and were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of thee months each under Secon 447 IPC. 5. The custody cerficate placed on record by the respondent- State would reveal that peoner No.2 Bhola Singh has already undergone actual custody sentence of 01 month and 21 days; peoner No.3 Sarwan Singh has already undergone actual custody sentence of 01 month and 19 days; whereas peoner No.4 Harkaran Singh has already undergone actual sentence of 01 month and 20 days. Custody cerficate further indicates that peoner Nos.2 to 4 are not involved in any other criminal case. 6. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, it will be in the interest of jusce, if the period of imprisonment is reduced to the period already undergone by the peoners, instead of sending them behind bars in the company of hardened criminals. 7. Consequently, the present peon is partly accepted. By maintaining the impugned judgment against convicon, the order of sentence as passed by the trial Court is modified and the peoners are sentenced to imprisonment for the period already undergone by them. As far as fine is concerned, it will remain same. Disposed of.
