The courts have evolved certain principles: twin objective of the sentencing policy is deterrence and correction. What sentence would meet the ends of justice depends on the facts and circumstances of each case and the court must keep in mind the gravity of the crime, motive for the crime, nature of the offence and all other attendant circumstances." Haripada Das (Supra) "...considering the fact that the respondent had already undergone detention for some period and the case is pending for a pretty long time for which he had suffered both financial hardship and mental agony and also considering the fact that he had been released on bail as far back as on 17-1-1986, we feel that the ends of justice will [2025:RJ-JP:20415] (4 of 5) [CRLR-1398/2006] be met in the facts of the case if the sentence is reduced to the period already undergone..." ekuuh; loksZPp U;k;ky; ds mi;qZDr U;kf;d fofuf'p;ksa esa izfrikfnr fl)kUr ,oa orZeku izdj.k ds rF;ksa o ifjfLFkfr;ksa dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, fuxjkdkj&vfHk;qDr dks fn;s x;s vf/kdre N% ekg ds dkjkokl dks ?kVkrs gq, mlds LFkku ij mls vc rd Hkqxrh gqbZ ltk ij NksM+k tkuk U;k; ds fgr esa i;kZIr vkSj U;k;ksfpr izrhr gksrk gSA tgka rd vfHk;qDr ij vf/kjksfir fd;s x;s vFkZn.M dk iz'u gS] rks fopkj.k U;k;ky; }kjk vfHk;qDr ij dqy 1]100 :i;s dk vFkZn.M vf/kjksfir fd;k x;k gSA ?kVuk 33 o"kZ iqjkuh gS] ftlesa ifjoknh ds ppsjs HkkbZ dh e`R;q dkfjr gqbZ gS rFkk HkkHkh dks pksVsa dkfjr gqbZ gSaA vr% izdj.k ds rF; o ifjfLFkfr;ksa dks ns[krs gq, vfHk;qDr ij dqy 1]100 :i;s ds LFkku ij 25]000 :i;s dk vFkZn.M vf/kjksfir fd;k tkuk mfpr izrhr gksrk gSA ifj.kker% fuxjkdkj&vfHk;qDr dh vksj ls izLrqr ;g iqujh{k.k ;kfpdk nks"kfl)h dh gn rd fujLr dh tkrh gSA n.Mkns'k ds fcUnq ij Lohdkj dh tkrh gS ,oa fopkj.k U;k;ky; rFkk vihyh; U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr n.Mkns'k dks mikUrfjr@la'kksf/kr djrs gq, N% ekg ds lk/kkj.k dkjkokl ds LFkku ij fuxjkuhdkj&vfHk;qDr dks Hkqxrh gqbZ ltk ls nf.Mr fd;k tkrk gS rFkk ml ij vf/kjksfir vFkZn.M dh jkf'k dqy 1]100 :i;s ds LFkku ij c<+kdj 25]000 :i;s dh tkrh gSA mDr vFkZn.M dh jkf'k N% lIrkg esa vfHk;qDr }kjk fopkj.k U;k;ky; esa tek djokbZ tkosxhA mDr vof/k ds Hkhrj vfHk;qDr }kjk vFkZn.M dh jkf'k tek ugha djk;s tkus dh fLFkfr esa fopkj.k U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr n.Mkns'k izHkkoh jgsxkA vFkZn.M dh jkf'k tek gksus ij e`rd ds fof/kd izfrfuf/kx.k dks fu;ekuqlkj vnk dh tkosxhA vfHk;qDr dks vknsf'kr fd;k tkrk gS fd ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; esa bl fu.kZ; ds fo:) fo'ks"k vihy vuqefr ;kfpdk izLrqr gksus ij mlesa mifLFkfr gsrq /kkjk 483 Hkkjrh; ukxfjd lqj{kk lafgrk ds izko/kkuksa ds vUrxZr 50]000 :i;s [2025:RJ-JP:20415] (5 of 5) [CRLR-1398/2006] dh jkf'k dk futh ca/ki= ,oa 25]000&25]000 :i;s dh nks tekursa fopkj.k U;k;ky; ds lanks"kizn N% lIrkg dh vof/k esa izLrqr dj rLnhd djkosaA rnuqlkj ;g iqujh{k.k ;kfpdk fuLrkfjr dh tkrh gSA fu.kZ; dh izfr ds lkFk v/khuLFk U;k;ky; dk vfHkys[k fopkj.k U;k;ky; dks vfoyEc izsf"kr fd;k tkosA (SHUBHA MEHTA),J VISHAL SHARMA /09
