2. Petitioner challenges the judgment and order dated
15.01.2025 in CRA-D-475-DB-2005 (O&M) passed by the High
Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh, titled “Darshan
Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab”.
3. Learned counsel for the appellant, under
instructions, submits that the appellant does not intend
to challenge the judgment of conviction under Section
304-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short, IPC);
the limited challenge in this appeal is confined to the
quantum of sentence, primarily on the basis that the
similarly situated co-accused, who stood convicted for
the very same offence, were sentence only for a period of
seven years, whereas the instant appellant is awarded
sentence for a period of ten years.
