JUDGMENT 1. - The revision petition has been filed against the judgment dated 17.10.2011 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Anumpgarh, Camp Gharsana whereby the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order dated 6.5.2009 passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge (J.D.) and Judicial Magistrate (First Class), Gharsana, whereby the present petitioner has been convicted for the offences under Sections 147, 341 and 323 Indian Penal Code and at the same time, he has been dealt with under Section 3 of the Probation of Offenders Act, has been dismissed. 2. The only anxiety of the preset petitioner is that he is a young boy of 25 years and conviction under the above offences will operate as a bad name and disqualification for the competitive examinations and hence benefit of Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act should be extended to him. 3. The learned Public Prosecutor has left the matter to the discretion of this Court. 4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.The relevant provision is Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, Which runs as under: "12. Removal of disqualification attaching to conviction. - Notwithstanding anything, contained in any other law, a person found guilty of an offence and dealt with under the provisions of Section 3 or Section 4 shall not suffer disqualification, if any, attaching to a conviction of an offence under such law." 5. A bare perusal of the above provision goes to show that when a person is convicted and dealt with under Section 3 or Section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act, as in the present case he has been dealt with under Section 3 of the Probation of Offenders Act, no disqualification will be suffered by him on the ground of his conviction unless in any other law anything contrary is contained and looking at the above, there is no reasons for the present petitioner to suffer any disqualification of the ground of conviction in the impugned judgment. 6. His further contention is that he has moved before the Superintendent of Police, Sri Ganganagar but looking to his Conviction, he has been declared disqualified for the competitive examination and hence a speaking order under Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act be passed in his favour. 7.
6. His further contention is that he has moved before the Superintendent of Police, Sri Ganganagar but looking to his Conviction, he has been declared disqualified for the competitive examination and hence a speaking order under Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act be passed in his favour. 7. Looking to these circumstances and provisions of Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act, it is made clear that whenever a conviction is made and a person, like petitioner, is dealt with under Section 3 of the Probation of the Offenders Act, his conviction under the offence will not suffer any disqualification and thus the present petitioner will get the benefit of Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act.With the aforesaid directions, this revision petition stands disposed of.Revision disposed of. *******
