CRLA 1927/2001 Hon’ble Dharam Veer, J. List has been revised. None appears for the appellant. Mr. M.A. Khan, Brief Holder for the State/respondent. None has been appearing on behalf of the appellant since the last few days when the appeal was listed though the power has been filed by Mr. A.S. Bisht, Advocate on behalf of the appellant. Since it is an old appeal of the year 1997, therefore, in the interest of justice, Mr. H.C. Pathak, Advocate is appointed as Amicus Curiae to assist the Court on behalf of the appellant Shiv Babu. Heard learned Amicus Curiae for the appellant and learned Brief Holder for the State on the merits of the case. Appeal is allowed. For orders, see my order of date passed on separate sheets.
