IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.208 of 2011 DILIP RAM S/O RAGHUNANDAN RAM, R/O VILLAGE-CHECHARDHI, P.S., OBRA, DISTRICT-AURANGABAD, BIHAR. …………Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ………….Opposite Party ----------- 04 10.03.2011 Interlocutory Application No. 342 of 2011 has been filed seeking condonation of delay in filing the revision application. It is submitted that some of the convicts had already moved before this court in Criminal Revision No. 1850 of 2009, which has been disposed of by order dated 30.11.2009. Learned counsel points out that delay involved is 86 days (approximate). For the reasons stated in the application and submission made in support thereof, the same is allowed. Interlocutory Application No. 342 of 2011 stands disposed of. Heard both sides. Rule confined to question of sentence. Learned APP waives service of notice. With the consent of the parties the application is being finally disposed of at this stage. The only submission advanced on behalf of the petitioner is that the conviction recorded under Sections 25 (1-b), 26 and 35 is/are excessive. It is submitted that some of the co-convicts, moved this court in Criminal Revision No. 1850 of 2009, wherein the sentence was reduced to the period undergone. It is submitted that the occurrence had taken place in the year 2007 and the petitioner had to undergo the ordeal of trial for 02 years, whereafter the conviction was recorded by 2 learned trial court in Trial No. 140 of 2009. Aggrieved by the said order, they filed appeal being Criminal Appeal No. 28 of 2009, which was dismissed. Considering the submission of the petitioner that some of the co-accuseds have already been dealt with on the question of sentence by this court and the fact that they had to undergo the ordeal of trial for 02 years, this court is satisfied that, in the facts and circumstances of this case, a lessor quantum of sentence would subserve the cause of justice. Accordingly, while upholding the conviction recorded by the learned trial court and affirmed by learned lower appellate court, the sentence awarded under Section 25 (1-b) and 26/35 of the Arms Act is reduced to undergo R.I. for 01 year under each head/count. Other part(s)/condition(s) of the sentence shall remain unaltered. With this modification, the revision application is dismissed. Safik ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
