Versus

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI

Present:

Mr. H.S. Bhullar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Amandeep S. Gill, Advocate for the UT Chandigarh. AJAY TEWARI, J (ORAL) This petition has been filed against the concurrent conviction of the petitioner as a consequence whereof he has been sentenced to undergo RI for a period of one and half years and to pay a fine of Rs.200/- for the offence under Section 420 IPC read with Section 511 IPC. The petitioner was convicted of attempt to fraudulently claim insurance from the Insurance Company in respect of car, which he had purchased.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that he would not press this petition on merits but in fact no cheating took place. The petitioner has faced the criminal proceedings for the last about 10 years and he has marriageable daughters and that no other case is pending against him. Learned counsel for the respondent-UT, in view of the stand taken by learned counsel for the petitioner, has stated that he would not

Crl.R.No.2285 of 2015 #2# oppose the prayer seeking some reduction in the sentence as this court may deem fit.

Keeping in view the entire factual matrix, I deem it appropriate to accept the plea of learned counsel for the petitioner and reduce the sentence to six months while dismissing the revision. Ordered accordingly.
