CW-2005-0007Chandigarh, ChandigarhJudgment 27 July 2005
Punjab Police Director General of Police vs State (Admn., U.T. Chandigarh)
The Supreme Court dismissed former Punjab DGP K.P.S. Gill's appeal (Crl. A. 1032/1998) and upheld his conviction under Sections 354 and 509 IPC for slapping the posterior of a woman senior IAS officer at a Chandigarh dinner party on 18 July 1988. The Sessions Judge had replaced the custodial sentence with release on probation and a Rs 50,000 fine (half to complainant), but the High Court in revision enhanced the fine to Rs 2,00,000 payable entirely to the prosecutrix plus Rs 25,000 costs — which the Supreme Court left undisturbed, noting the Rs 2 lakh lay in court deposit for disposal by the Punjab & Haryana CJ at the complainant's request (donation to a women's organisation). The Court also dismissed the complainant's appeal (Crl. A. 430/1999) seeking enhancement, noting Gill had completed probation without violation. The accused's conspiracy defence was recorded and rejected. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
