' The revision petition is directed against the order dated 9-4-1986 of Additional Sessions Judge, Sargodha, whereby the learned Additional Sessions Judge dismissed the appeal filed by the petitioners against the order, dated 27-2-1989 of Resident Magistrate, Sillanwali, whereof the learned Magistrate had convicted the petitioners under sections 325/149 and 148, P.P.C. The learned Additional Sessions Judge while dismissing the appeal altered the sentences of the petitioners from section 325/149, P.P.C. To section 323/149, P.P.C. And sentenced them to undergo R.I. For one year each, plus to pay a fine of Rs,1,000 each. The sentences of one year's R.I. Awarded to each of the petitioners under section 148, P.P.C. By the trial Magistrate were maintained.
2. The revision petition was admitted to consider only the quantum of sentence, as according to the learned counsel, the sentences awarded under sections 323/149 and 148, P.P.C. Were excessive.
He had not pressed the petition on merits. That being the position I do not consider it necessary to recapitulate the detailed facts, which find mention in the impugned judgments.
3. In this case two persons from the complainant side had suffered injuries. All the injuries except one on both the P.Ws. Were declared simple.
' As no proper evidence to prove the grievous nature of the injury was produced, the learned appellate Court treated the same also as simple. The position that thus emerges is that the petitioners stand convicted of having caused simple injuries to two P.Ws.
4. The case was registered in April, 1987. Petitioners were arrested and IA released on bail during trial. The trial continued till February, 1989 and concluded on the judgment delivered by the trial Magistrate on 27-2-1989. Thereafter, the petitioners filed appeal, which was disposed of by the appellate Court on 9-4-1989. Petitioners thus have undergone stress and strain of the trial for about two years.
5. Manzur and Umra petitioners are real brothers. Shera petitioner is their father. Thus, three petitioners belong to same family. There are thus mitigating factors justifying reduction in the sentences. The convictions of the petitioners are maintained. However, the sentences of one year's R.I. Awarded to each of the petitioners for offence under section 323/149, P.P.C. Are reduced to six months' R.I. Each. The sentences of fine are maintained; in default whereof each of them will undergo R.I. For three months each. Half of the fine, on recovery, shall be paid as compensation in equal share to the injured P.Ws. The sentences of one year's R.I. Each awarded to the petitioners under section 148, P.P.C. Are reduced to six months' R.I. Each. Both the sentences shall run concurrently. The petitioners shall be given the benefit of the provisions of section 382-B, Cr.P.C. .
