It is clear on a bare reading of the provisions of Section 304-B (supra) that the term of imprisonment provided for the commission of an offence punishable under Section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code is imprisonment for life but it should not be less than seven years. The intention of the Legislature in providing that the imprisonment under this Section shall not be less than seven years, is to award severe punishment to the guilty person, therefore, by providing the minimum period of imprisonment of seven years, the Legislature intended to prevent the Courts from passing a sentence of less than seven years when a case under Section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code is proved, and thus, the discretion of the Court to pass a sentence of less than seven years has been ousted. The Court in its discretion, however, may pass a sentence of imprisonment which may extend to imprisonment for life but the imprisonment so awarded should not be less than seven years. Therefore, for the purpose of the proviso to sub-section (2) of Section 167 of the Code supra, the expression "imprisonment for term of not less than ten years" as used therein will apply only to the cases wherein the maximum provided punishment of imprisonment is less than ten years and not to such cases where the law provides maximum punishment of imprisonment of ten or more years but also provides a minimum sentence of less than ten years imprisonment. 3- :is'k dqekj ,oa vU; cuke >kj[k.M jkT; ,oa vU; 2005 fØfeuy ykW tjuy 1802 ¼>kj[k.M½ esa Hkh vfHk;qDr ds fo:) /kkjk 304-ch Hkkjrh; n.M lafgrk dk vijk/k vkjksfir Fkk vkSj mDr Hkkafr dk n`f"Vdks.k ysrs gq, ekuuh; U;k;ky; us vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk la[;k 16 ls 18 esa fuEu izdkj izfrikfnr fd;k gS& 16.

As noticed above, the Supreme Court also in the case of Rajeev Chaudhary ( AIR 2001 SC 2369 : 2001 Cri LJ 2941) (supra) has held that where the offence is punishable with imprisonment for 10 years or more, the accused could be detained up to a period of 90 days. 18.

Quantum of punishment cannot be ascertained at the stage of investigation of the case because the sentence can only be determined and awarded by the Courts after conclusion of trial of each case and after recording the order of conviction. Therefore, at the stage of investigation, the maximum punishment prescribed for the offence is relevant for the purpose of proviso (a) to Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. In number of offences, in Indian Penal Code, various types of or alternative punishments have been prescribed. The punishment has been defined under Section 53 of the IPC. The minimum sentence prescribed for an offence is not relevant for the purpose of proviso (a) to Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. Under Section 396 IPC, the punishment prescribed is death or imprisonment for life or rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall also be liable to fine. Similarly, under Section 305 IPC, the sentence prescribed is death or imprisonment for life or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years and also be liable to fine. In these offences, sentence of death or imprisonment for life may be and may not be passed and passing of sentence depends on facts and circumstances of each case. In these offences, the imprisonment can be up to ten years also. However, if other sentence prescribed, i.e. death or imprisonment for life is not taken into consideration and only imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years, is taken into consideration, then the accused shall have to be released on bail under Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. if charge-sheet is not filed within a period of 60 days. The word "punishable" has been used in clause (i) of proviso (a) to Section 167(2) Cr.P.C., which clearly shows that if punishment is up to life imprisonment also, then clause (i) of proviso (a) to Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. would be attracted." 38. The word "punishable" has been used in clause (i) of proviso (a) to Section 167(2) Cr.P.C., which clearly shows that if punishment is up to life imprisonment also, then clause (i) of proviso (a) to Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. would be attracted." 38. In view of the above discussion, it is clear that the offence under Section 304B IPC is punishable for imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than seven years but which may extend to imprisonment for life, therefore, provisions of clause (i) of proviso (a) to Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. would be attracted and there is no dispute that in the present case, charge-sheet has been filed within a period of 90 days, therefore, the petitioners are not entitled for bail under Section 439 read with Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. Accordingly, the bail application of the petitioners is dismissed. 7- lcls egRoiw.kZ ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk HkwisUnz flag ,oa vU; cuke tjusy flag ,oa vU; ¼2006½6 ,llhlh 277 esa ikfjr fu.kZ; gS ftlesa lEekuh; mPpre U;k;ky; us vius iwoZ ds fu.kZ; ls vlgefr O;Dr djrs gq, fo}ku~ vf/koDrk izkFkhZ dh vksj ls izLrqr fofu.kZ; lquhy dqekj cuke >kj[k.M jkT; dks vksoj:y djrs gq, jktLFkku mPp U;k;ky; ds fu.kZ; ds'konso cuke jktLFkku jkT; 2005 fØfeuy ykW tjuy] fgekpy izns'k mPp U;k;ky; ds fu.kZ; fgekpy izns'k jkT; cuke ykyflag 2003 fØfeuy ykW tjuy 1668] iatkc ,oa gfj;k.kk mPp U;k;ky; ds fu.kZ; dqynhi flag cuke gfj;k.kk jkT; ¼2005½3 vkjlhvkj 599 ls lgefr O;Dr dh gSA lkFk gh vius iwoZ fu.kZ; lwcsflag cuke gfj;k.kk jkT; 1989¼1½ ,llhlh 235 dk Hkh voyEc fy;k gSA bl fofu.kZ; ds rF; la{ksi esa bl izdkj Fks fd vihykFkhZ HkwisUnz flag dk fookg Jherh deythr dkSj ds lkFk gqvk Fkk tks fnukad 2-8-2004 dks e`r ik;h x;hA bldh gR;k djus ds vkjksi ds lkFk tjussy flag }kjk vihykFkhZ HkwisUnz ,oa cyfoUnz ds fo:) izFke lwpuk fjiksVZ ntZ djok;h x;h ftlesa nksuksa dks fnukad 5-8-2004 dks fxjrkj fd;k x;k ,oa fnukad 7-8-2004 dks vihykFkhZ la[;k 3 daoythr dkSj dks fxjrkj fd;k x;kA blesa /kkjk 167¼2½¼a½¼ii½ n.M izfØ;k lafgrk ds izko/kku ds izdk'k esa 60 fnu dh vof/k esa pkyku izLrqr u gksus ds vk/kkj ij eftLVªsV U;k;ky; esa tekur dk vkosnu izLrqr fd;k x;k tks U;k;ky; us ;g fy[krs gq, vLohd`r fd;k fd 90 fnu iw.kZ gksus ds iwoZ vkjksi i= izLrqr fd;k tk pqdk gSA bl vkns'k dks fo}ku ls'ku U;k;k/kh'k] xqjnkliqj ds U;k;ky; esa pqukSrh nh x;h tgka rhu fof/k n`"VkUrksa dks mn~/k`r djrs gq, ;g fu/kkZfjr fd;k x;k fd vuqla/kku iw.kZ dj vkjksi i= izLrqr djus dh vof/k 90 fnu u ekudj 60 fnu ekus tkus ;ksX; gS vkSj QyLo:i vfHk;qDr dks tekur dh lqfo/kk iznku dh x;hA bl vkns'k ds fo:) mPp U;k;ky; esa fuxjkuh izLrqr dh x;h tgka pkyku izLrqr djus dh vof/k 60 fnu ds ctk, 90 fnu ekurs gq, vfHk;qDr dks iznku dh x;h tekur dh lqfo/kk vikLr dh x;hA ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; us /kkjk 304 ch Hkkjrh; n.M lafgrk esa izkof/kr n.M dh vof/k rFkk /kkjk 167¼2½ n.M izfØ;k lafgrk ds izko/kku ds lEcU/k esa foLr`r foospu djrs gq, vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk la[;k 15 esa fuEu izdkj izfrikfnr fd;k gS& 15.

Where minimum and maximum sentences are prescribed both are imposable depending on the facts of the cases. It is for the Court, after recording conviction, to impose appropriate sentence. It cannot, therefore, be accepted that only the minimum sentence is imposable and not the maximum sentence. Merely because minimum sentence is provided that does not mean that the sentence imposable is only the minimum sentence. The High Courts view in the impugned order that permissible period of filing of challan is 90 days is the correct view. Contrary view expressed by Jharkhand, Delhi and Karnataka High Courts is not correct. Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab and Haryana High Courts taking the view that 90 days is the period, have expressed the correct view.
