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 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 ,d o"kZ ds dkjkokl ,oa leLr vFkZn.M 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 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; o vihyh; U;k;ky; }kjk ikfjr n.Mkns'k dks mikUrfjr@ la'kksf/kr djrs gq, mls /kkjk 498&, Hkkjrh; n.M lafgrk esa iznRr ,d o"kZ ds dBksj dkjkokl ,oa ,d gtkj :i;s vFkZn.M rFkk /kkjk 323 Hkkjrh; n.M lafgrk esa iznRr N% ekg ds lk/kkj.k dkjkokl ,oa ikap lkS :i;s vFkZn.M ds LFkku ij fuxjkdkj&vfHk;qDr dks vc rd dh Hkqxrh gqbZ ltk ls nf.Mr fd;k tkrk gSA fuxjkdkj&vfHk;qDr tekur ij vktkn gS] vr% mlds tekur eqpyds fujLr fd;s tkrs gSaA rnuqlkj ;g iqujh{k.k ;kfpdk ,oa layXu izkFkZuk i=] ;fn dksbZ yafcr gks] fuLrkfjr fd;k tkrk gSA (SHUBHA MEHTA),J AJAY KUMAR SINGHAL /07
