1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR D.B.CRIMINAL JAIL APPEAL No.725/2004 [Mahendra singh . VS. STATE OF RAJ.] Date of order : 09.12.2010 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.M.SAPRE HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE KAILASH CHANDRA JOSHI By Post. Mr.K.R.Bishnoi, PP ***** This is an appeal received from the jail. It is sent by a life convict by name “Mahendra Singh S/o Hari Singh” against the judgment dated 23.04.2004 passed in Sessions Case No.44/2004 by District & Sessions Juge, Hanumangarh. Admittedly, this very convict i.e. Mahendra Singh has also filed a regular Criminal appeal through his lawyer Mr.M.K.Garg being Criminal Appeal No.606/2005 before this Court and the same has also been admitted for final hearing. Since regular Criminal Appeal has already been filed through his lawyer and the same has also been admitted by this Court for final hearing, it is not necessary to keep this Jail Appeal No.725/2004 pending because the very purpose of filing the jail appeal is achieved by the convict by filing a regular Criminal Appeal through his lawyer. There can not be nor should be two appeals on behalf of 2 one convict against the same incident. We, however, make it clear that grievance of the appellant convict Mahendra Singh shall be examined and decided on its own merit, in his regular Criminal Appeal No.606/2004 and the counsel representing the convict in Jail Appeal would continue to assist the Court alongwith lawyer engaged by appellant at the time of final hearing of Criminal Appeal No.606/2004 as amicus for and on behalf of appellant/convict. This would thus safeguard the interest of convict. Accordingly, and in view of the aforesaid discussion, we do not consider it necessary to keep this Jail Appeal pending. It is rather redundant. It is accordingly disposed of. A copy of this order be kept in Criminal Appeal No.606/2004 on record. (KAILASH CHANDRA JOSHI ), J. (A.M.SAPRE), J. /mamta
