Dnyaneshwar Ramji Waghmare 2. Sada Balya Pawar .... Appellants Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri Hitesh Shah for the Appellants. Ms P.P. Bhosale, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: NOVEMBER 25, 2011 P.C: 1. The appeal is not listed for final hearing. However, by consent, the appeal is taken up for final hearing. 2. The learned counsel for the appellants states that appellant No.2 Sada Balya Pawar has already completed the sentence of five years and is still in jail because the learned Additional Sessions Judge had not directed that the sentences were to run concurrently. The learned Judge had convicted the appellants for 2 APEAL-G-1227.08 the offences punishable under Sections 452, 323 and 511 r/w Section 376 of the IPC and sentenced them to suffer RI for five years with fine of Rs.250/- to Rs.1,000/- on the three counts. He had not mentioned that the sentences were to run concurrently. Ordinarily, when one incident leads to involvement of an accused in three crimes, the sentences have to be directed to run concurrently, unless there are special reasons for not doing so. In view of this, the appeal is allowed to that extent, since it is not pressed on any other ground. The impugned order is modified. The sentences imposed upon the appellants are directed to run concurrently. 3. In view of disposal of the appeal, Criminal Application No.1461 of 2011, filed by appellant No.2, does not survive and accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
