A Delhi resident who was arrested for bursting firecrackers in the national capital after the permissible time limit of 10 PM has now been convicted for the ‘crime’ by a local Delhi court, Live Law has reported.
The accused Mayank Singh was convicted by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jitendra Singh for the incident which took place on 7 November 2018.
Mayank was bursting crackers in Paharganj after which he was ordered by a police patrol on duty to refrain from the activity. The police patrol then left for an emergency call and when they returned found that he was still bursting crackers.
Under the judgement, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate noted that nothing substantial in favour of the accused had been recorded during the cross-examination and that the prosecution had successfully proven that he had violated the Supreme Court judgement.
After the conviction, the judge observed that Mayank had a clean record and thus let him off with an admonition. He was also asked to pay Rs 500 as cost of proceedings.
