Cr. A No. 8 of 1999. 7.5.2010 Present: Mr. P.K.Sharma, Addl. Advocate General with Mr. R.P. Singh, Asstt. Advocate General, for the appellant. Mr. Ajay Sharma, counsel for respondents No. 1 to 5. The State has challenged the order passed by learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Dehra, District Kangra convicting the respondents herein for offence under Sections 148, 323, 326 read with Section 149 IPC. In so far as the quantum of sentence is concerned, the respondents have been released pursuant to the provisions of Probation of Offenders Act. This appeal is one under Section 11(2) of the Probation of Offenders Act, which reads:- ”Notwithstanding anything contained in the Code, where an order under Section 3 or Section 4 is made by any Court trying the offender (other than a High Court), an appeal shall lie to the court to which appeals ordinarily lie from the sentences of the former court.” It will be open to the State to prefer an appeal in accordance with law before a court of competent jurisdiction. Needless to say that the time spent in prosecuting the case before this Court shall be considered in application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act which may be filed by the State. The appeal stands dispose of. The bail bonds are discharged. ( Dev Darshan Sud), Judge. May 7, 2010. ( Kuldip Singh ), (Hem) Judge.
