JAMMU, Sept 4: City Judge Jammu Pooja Raina today awarded two years imprisonment to Sham Bakshi, who killed minor child by his car on April 16, 2011 in Bakshi Nagar area.
After hearing Special PP Aseem Sawhney for the UT, the City Judge Jammu observed, “since the convict is now aged more than 76 years and was not a driver by profession, therefore, the consideration also weighs in the mind of the court while awarding sentence as a mitigating circumstance”.
“Accordingly, the convict is sentenced to a simple imprisonment for a period of three months and a fine of Rs one thousand for commission of the offence under Section 279 RPC Further, the convict is sentenced to a simple imprisonment for a period of two years and fine of Rs two thousand, for the commission of offence under section 304A RPC. In default of payment of fine, the convict shall further undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one month. Both the sentences however, shall run concurrently”, the court ordered.
