The question arising for consideration is: Can this Court by exercising its power under Section 482 of the Code make the sentences awarded in three different cases to run concurrently. The question is no more a res-integra. It has been held by a full Bench of this Court in Jang Singh vs. State of Punjab 2008 (1) RCR (Criminal) 323 that the power to make the sentences to run concurrently can be exercised by the trial Court and if not done so, then by the Appellate Court or Revisional Court. This power cannot be exercised by invoking the provisions of Section 482 of the Code. Hence, the petition is dismissed. 04.11.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) neetu JUDGE
