K.K.VAIDYANATHAN, F-3,PRS COURT, AMBUJA VILASAM ROAD, TRIVANDRUM-1 3. STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.VENUGOPAL.M.R. THIS CRIMINAL APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/08/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.K.MOHANAN,J ------------------------------ Crl.A. No.2696 of 2008 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT Both the above appeals are filed, on getting special leave of this Court by order dated 12.11.2008 in Crl.L.P.No.1702/2008, against the judgment dated 26.2.2007 of the Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate (EO), Ernakulam in ST No.562/97. It is noted by the Registry that against the very same judgment of the trial court and after getting special leave of this Court from the same order of granting leave the very same appellant has filed two appeals, i.e., Crl.A.No.2696/2008 and Crl.A.No.9/2009. In the light of the above facts and circumstances, it can be seen that against the very same judgment in ST.No.562/97 of the trial court two appeals are not maintainable. Accordingly, the appeal which bear the oldest number i.e.,Crl.A.No.2696/08 is liable to be dismissed and registry is directed to post Crl.A.No.9/2009 for admission. 2. I have no hesitation to observe that the challenge in the appeal which now survive is against the judgment in ST No.562/97 covered by the common judgment of the learned Crl.A. No.2696 of 2008 & Crl.A.No.9 of 2009 2 Magistrate in ST cases mentioned therein. Thus, the present appeal is filed only against the judgment in one ST case. If the appellant proposes to challenge the judgment in the other connected cases, they have to file separate appeals in accordance with the procedure, including getting leave from this court. Therefore, it is for them to take appropriate steps, as expeditiously as possible, as the order impugned is dated 26.2.2007. In the result, Crl.A.No.2696/2008 is dismissed and registry is directed to post Crl.A.No.9/2009 for admission. V.K.MOHANAN, JUDGE pm
