IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.295 of 2010 1. HARI SINGH 2. Jiwnath Singh 3. Moal Singh 4. Anil Singh Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Sham Dev ----------- 3/ 18.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State on the point of sentence only. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that trivial matter was there in between the complainant and petitioners to quarrel if any and in that continuation, some assault was made added with allegation of committing theft but only against one of the petitioners, Ganesh Singh in the year 1987. Petitioners faced the trial for such a long period. Admittedly, they were first offenders and were entitled for relief under the Probation of Offenders Act. Petitioners may be released after Admonition or Probation of first Offenders Act but no such relief was given to them rather they remained in custody for a period of more than two and half months. If such period is observed sufficient towards sentence, that also meets the end of justice. I agree with the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the revision application is partly allowed. Accordingly, petitioners are directed to be released forthwith, if not wanted in any other case. Rest of the Judgment and order dated 03.07.2008 2 passed by the Ist A.D.J., Araria in Cr. Appeal No. 24/85 of 1994 and the order dated 26.07.1994 passed in Complaint Case No. 56 of 1986 by the J.M., Ist Class, Araria are hereby affirmed. Shail ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
