JUSTICE SHYAM KISHORE SHARMA) ---------- 3 09-10-2012 This appeal has been filed against the judgment Patna High Court CR. APP (DB) No.960 of 2012 (3) dt.09-10-2012 2 dated 30.01.2012 passed by Sri Nand Lal Prasad, Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No.I), Jamui in Sessions Trial No. 582 of 1997 arising out of Chandramandih P.S.Case No. 24 of 1995 whereby the accused persons (respondent nos. 2 to 13) were not held guilty under major sections of the Indian Penal Code and held guilty under [STATUTE] and for that they were released on execution of probation bond of Rs.5000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each with condition that they will keep peace and be of good behaviour for one year. Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that in view of the substantive evidence gathered against the accused persons and also in view of the case and counter case, the trial court has erred in taking lenient view against the accused persons. We have heard and analyzed the evidences. The court below has doubted the application of [STATUTE] in view of lack of special evidence to that extent. When the accused persons were not found guilty under [STATUTE] , then the court had no option at all but to take lenient view and thereafter the accused persons were properly dealt with. The judgment under appeal, in the circumstances, is Patna High Court CR. APP (DB) No.960 of 2012 (3) dt.09-10-2012 3 based upon sound reasoning and it is not required to be interfered with by this Court. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
