IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.698 of 2007 INDRAMATI DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 12.9.2008. This application has been filed against the order dated 31st January,2007 passed by Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Danapur in G.R. Case No.210 of 2001, Trial No.369 of 2007. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. On perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the opposite parties have been convicted under various sections of the I.P.C. and ultimately have been released under the provisions of Probation of Offenders Act. The grievance of the learned counsel for the petitioner is against release of the opposite parties under provision of Probation of Offenders Act. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the opposite parties submitted that there is a case and counter case between the parties. In both the cases, accused persons have been convicted and released on Probation of Offenders Act. Considered the submission of the learned counsel for the parties. Perused the impugned order. On perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the maximum punishment provided under the sections under which the opposite parties have been convicted is only seven years. Therefore, the learned lower court has not committed any illegality or impropriety in releasing the opposite parties under the provisions of Probation of Offenders Act. There is specific provisions - 2 - N.H./ under the Probation of Offenders Act to release such convicts either under section 3 or 4 of Offenders Act. Under the circumstances, I find no merit in this application. Accordingly, this application stands rejected. ( Ghanshyam Prasad )
