IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.246 of 2010 SURESH CHAUDHARY son of Ram Chandra Chaudhary, resident of vill.- Thikaha Kothi, P.S.-Kathaiya, Distt.-Muzafarpur----------Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ------------- 3. 1.4.2010 Heard the parties. Sentence is only pressed to minimize the same to the period already undergone by the petitioner on the ground that petitioner’s only fault was his being driver of the pick up van having no concern with the articles loaded on the van. Sentence of the petitioner is maintained for 18 months while the petitioner remained in custody for a period of near about one year. So the circumstance shown and suggested by the learned counsel for the petitioner appears appropriate to me also to minimize the sentence to the period undergone by the petitioner subject to payment of fine of Rs.2,000/- as awarded by the court below. Accordingly, the revision petition is allowed in part. Rest of the conviction and fine awarded by the 9th Addl. Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur, in Cr. Appeal no.86 of 2006 arising out of Trial no.1087 of 2006 is hereby confirmed. Petitioner, who is an accused in the aforesaid case, is directed to be released forthwith if not wanted in any other case and only after payment of the fine. Let this order be communicated to the court concerned through fax at the cost of the petitioner. Sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J. )
