The petitioner Ranvir Singh, a Haryana Roadways bus driver, was convicted by the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Rajpura in 2005 under Sections 279 and 304-A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, for causing the death of Jagpal Singh @ Pala by allegedly driving a bus rashly and negligently on 23.03.1999 on the Kalka-Zirakpur road, running over the deceased cyclist. His appeal to the Additional Sessions Judge, Patiala was dismissed in 2009, following which he filed the present Criminal Revision Petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The petitioner argued that mere deposition of high speed did not establish rash and negligent driving, and alternatively sought reduction of sentence to the period already undergone (3 months and 12 days). The State and the complainant contended that the evidence, read in entirety, established rash and negligent driving and that the sentence was already lenient. The judgment text as provided records the arguments of both sides but does not contain the final operative order of the High Court.
