JUDGMENT Mr. Alok Singh, J (Oral): - This revision petition is filed by the revisionist – petitioner against judgment dated 17.1.2011 passed by learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Ropar, as well as judgment dated 29.8.2007 passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Kharar, whereby petitioner is convicted under Sections 279/304-A IPC and was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months under Section 279 IPC and to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year and to pay fine of Rs.200/- under Section 304-A IPC and in default of payment of fine, to further undergo simple imprisonment for one month. 2. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner does not challenge the conviction of the petitioner and states that petitioner is an old man of 78 years of age and is first time offender. He further states that since sentence awarded is one year, hence, petitioner is liable to be released on probation under the Probation of Offenders Act. 3. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, and the fact that he is first time offender and is aged 78 years, therefore, no useful purpose would be served by sending him to jail with hardcore criminals. As such, while maintaining the conviction of the petitioner, the present petition is disposed of with the direction that petitioner be released on probation under Section 4(1) of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, for a period of one year on his furnishing personal bond and undertaking with one surety to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court that he will keep peace and be of good behaviour. In case he is found to be indulged in such like illegal activities, sentence awarded by the Court below shall stand revived automatically. However, fine imposed upon the petitioner is enhanced to Rs.20000/-. The petitioner is directed to deposit the above said amount, within one month from today, with the Trial Court. On deposit so being made, the Trial Court shall issue notice to the legal representatives of the deceased and disburse the amount to them forthwith. It is made clear that in case enhanced amount is not deposited, as directed above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed and the order of the Court below shall stand revived automatically. 4. With above mentioned modification, this revision petition stands disposed of. ----------0BSK0----------
