Case of the petitioner is that while he was undergoing his life imprisonment, he had escaped from the custody and subsequently FIR No. 29 dated 7.1.1998 was registered at Police Station Ambala City, under Section 224 IPC. Petitioner was sentenced to six months rigorous imprisonment by the trial Court. Aggrieved against the same, instead of filing an appeal, petitioner has filed revision petition in the Court of Sessions Judge, Ambala. Criminal Misc. No. M-8883 of 2009 2 The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying that subsequent conviction under Section 224 IPC and sentence of six months be ordered to run concurrent with life imprisonment. This matter was considered by Full Bench of this Court in Jang Singh v. State of Punjab 2008(1) Recent Criminal Reports 321. It was held in Jang Singh's case (supra) that power to make sentence concurrent can only be exercised by the trial Court, in case appeal or revision is preferred before the Appellate or Revisional Court, and no such direction can be given by this Court while exercising powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Hence, there is no merit in the present petition and the same is dismissed. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge April 16, 2009 “DK”
