Appellants are acquitted of the charges under Section 308 of IPC, but their conviction under Section 323 of IPC read with Section 34 thereof is maintained. The learned counsel for the appellant states, on instructions, that the appellants are ready to pay Rs 25,000/- each, as compensation, which may be divided in equal share between the injured Narinder Singh and Mahinder Singh. The appellants, therefore, are given benefit of probation and are released on furnishing bonds of peace and good conduct for a period of one year each in the sum of Rs 10,000/- each with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court within three weeks. The appellants shall also pay Rs 12,500/- each, as compensation, to both the injured person, meaning thereby that each of the appellants shall pay Rs 12,500/- to Narinder Singh and Rs 12,500/- to Mahinder Singh by way of pay order in their respective names. The total compensation payable by all the three appellants would thus be Rs 75,000/-, which will be divided equally between Mahinder Singh and Narinder Singh. The pay order shall be submitted to the Trial Court along with the bonds. The learned Trial Judge shall accept the bonds, subject to the pay orders being submitted along with the bonds and shall release the pay orders to the injured Mahinder Singh and Narinder Singh. In the event of default in paying the compensation and/or furnishing the bonds in terms of this order, the appellants shall undergo RI for one year each. The appeal stands disposed of. LCR be sent back, with a copy of this judgment.
