Shridhar @ Bhuru Vs State of H.P. Cr. Appeal No. 106 of 2009 28.08.2025 Present: Appellant Shridhar alias Bhuru, present in person with Mr. Sidharth, Advocate, vice Mr. Vinod Kumar Gupta, Advocate. Mr. Tejasvi Sharma, Mr. Mohinder Zharaick, Additional Advocates General, with Mr. Rohit Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, for the respondent/State. (In continuation of judgment dated 05.08.2025) In pursuance of the directions of this Court dated 25.08.2025, the State has filed the status report, disclosing therein, that except the present case, no other case has been found to have been registered against the appellant. The appeal of the appellant has been partly allowed by setting aside his conviction under Section 307 IPC. The appellant has been convicted under Sections 323 and 341 IPC and keeping in view the statement of the appellant, coupled with the report of the State, according to which, except the present case, no other case has been found to have been registered against him, instead of directing the appellant to undergo substantive sentence for the offences punishable under Sections 323 and 341 of IPC, this Court is of the view that it would be expedient to release the appellant-convict on probation of good conduct. Considering all these facts, the Criminal Appeal of the appellant-convict is dismissed against the judgment of conviction, however, in view of the discussions made above, the order of sentence is ordered to be modified. Instead of directing the appellant-convict to undergo the substantive sentence, he is directed to be released on probation of good conduct, on his furnishing personal bond in the sum of ₹ 50,000/-, with one surety of the like amount, to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court, to keep peace and be of good behaviour, for a period of two years and to receive the substantive sentence, as and when, called upon to do so, during the period of two years. The convict is also directed to deposit a sum of ₹ 10,000/-, which shall be in addition to the fine amount, already deposited by him, in this case, with the learned trial Court, within a period of two months from today. The said amount of ₹ 10,000/- shall be paid to complainant Dev Raj, as compensation, by the learned trial Court, after issuing notices to him, in this regard. It is clarified that in case of violation of any of the conditions, so imposed, including the terms and conditions of the requisite bonds, the order of sentence shall revive automatically, without reference to this Court. In that eventuality, the convict is directed to surrender before the learned trial Court, to undergo the substantive sentence. August 28, 2025 ( Virender Singh ) (Pramod) Judge
