Rajbir vs State Of Haryana on 1 May, 1985
19. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is a driver in K.S.R.T.C. and he is likely to lose his job if he is convicted and not given the benefit of the Act. The learned Counsel relied on the ruling of the Supreme Court in Rajbir v. State of Haryana, 1985 Vol II Crimes 462. But, it was a case where a Government servant was convicted for the offence punishable under Section 323 I.P.C. As compared with Section 304A, the offence under Section 323 I.P.C. can be termed as not so serious. There was no loss of life in that case. In view of the facts and circumstances of that case, the Supreme Court extended that benefit of the Act to the accused on the ground that if the benefit is not extended, the accused is likely to lose his job, Therefore, the Ruling relied upon by the learned Counsel for the petitioner is distinguishable from the facts of this case. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is a driver in K.S.R.T.C. and he will lose the job if he is not given the benefit of the Act. If the petitioner is given the benefit of the Act on the ground that he is a driver in K.S.R.T.C. and he is likely to lose the job if the benefit of the Act is not extended to him, all the drivers in the K.S.R.T.C. who are convicted for the offences punishable under Section 304-A I.P.C. will be entitled to the benefit of the Act on this ground, The Court will not be serving the cause of justice by laying down such a law which will be a precedent not in the interest of justice but it can lead to the frustration of the ends of justice.
