IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.190 of 2010 RAJ KUMAR SINGH , son of Sri Yogendra Singh, resident of Vill- Katarmala, P.S.-Goraul, Distt.-Vaishali---------Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ------------- 3. 26.3.2010 Heard the parties. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that a truck and a bus collided and one of the passengers of the bus sustained injuries resulting into his death. Petitioner being the driver of the Government bus was made accused in the case, faced trial, convicted and sentenced also which is reduced in appeal for a period of six months. In the case three witnesses were examined. Out of them P.W.3 turned hostile whereas P.Ws. 1 and 2 have supported the prosecution case on the point of accident without identifying the petitioner. In all petitioner remained in custody for 1 ½ months though incident was of the year 1992. After suffering trial for such a long period remaining two months in custody can be taken sufficient towards his sentence to him for ends of justice. I agree with the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner. Accordingly, the revision petition is allowed in part and the sentence awarded by the court below is observed sufficient towards his sentence by minimizing the period undergone by the petitioner. Rest of the conviction is hereby affirmed. Petitioner, who is in custody in G.R. no.502 of 1992 and Tr. No.59 of 2001 arising out of Motipur P.S. case no.67 of 1992, is - 2 - directed to be released forthwith, if not required in any other case. Let this order be communicated through fax at the cost of the petitioner. Sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J. )
