HARBHAJAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD Sri Dinesh Pathak holding brief of Mr. K. B. Sinha, learned counsel for the revisionists at length and the learned A.G.A.

(2.) THE learned counsel for the revisionists has successfully argued that the conviction of the revisionists under Section 26 of the Forest Act is bad because there was no charge against them for the offence punishable under Section 26 of the Forest Act.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the revisionists then argued that the sentence of six months' R.I. awarded to the revisionists is excessive. But this Court does not find substance in this argument considering the features of the case in which the Forester and his companions Forest Guards Intersected the accused- revisionists in cutting the tree inside the forest and they seized the accused persons, then the Forester Mr. K. C. Unial was assaulted and the culprits fled away who are the accused -revisionists.
