IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.626 of 2009 1. PREM CHANDRA SHRIVASTAVA 2. AKHILESHWAR CHANDRA …PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR …OPPOSITE PARTY For the Petitioners :Mr.Raghunath Kumar For the State :Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhyay,APP ----------- 02. 24.11.2010 By the order impugned, petitioners have although been convicted under minor sections of the Penal Code, but released in terms of section 3 of the Probation of Offenders Act. It appears that the trial court as well as the appellate court have appraised/re-appraised the evidence. Section 12 of the Probation of Offenders Act reads as under: “Removal of disqualification attaching to conviction.- Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, a person found guilty of an offence and dealt with under the provisions of section 3 or section 4 shall not suffer disqualification, if any, attaching to a conviction of an offence under such law: Provided that nothing in this section shall apply to a person who, after his release under section 4, is subsequently sentenced for the original offence.” In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order. The application is accordingly dismissed. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
