The reasons assigned by the appellate court are that the appellants are old persons. They are not previous convicts. They have faced protracted trial for 10 years. They have been appearing before the court, as required by law. Considering the antecedents, character and age, they have been given the benefit of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958. I do not find any reason to interfere with the sentence, merely on the argument addressed on behalf of the petitioner in the context of the Criminal Rev. No.2461 of 2008 2 injuries.
