DAYA NATH JHA, SON OF SHOOLPANI JHA, R/O- VILLAGE- KARAHIA (BALHA), P.S.- RAJ NAGAR, DISTRICT- MADHUBANI. ….. Opposite parties For the petitioners : Mr. Shailendra kumar Jha, Advocate ----------- 2 19.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. By the judgment and order impugned dated 29.9.2010 passed by learned Addl. Sessions Judge, F.T.C.- 1, Madhubani on Cr. Appeal No. 65 of 2000, the substantive sentence imposed on the petitioners under Sections 144, 447 and 427 of Indian Penal Code have been converted into an order of his release on executing bond of Rs. 5,000/- with two sureties of the like amount as per the provision contained under Section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act. Section 12 of the Act reads as under: “12. Removal of disqualification attaching to conviction- Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, a person found guilty of an offence and dealt with under the provisions of section 3 or section 4 shall not suffer disqualification, if any, attaching the 2 conviction of an offence under such law.; Provided that nothing in this section shall apply to a person, who, after his release under section 4, is subsequently sentenced for the original offence.” In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order impugned. The application stands disposed of. Since I have considered the revision application on merit, the question of limitation delves into insignificance. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J)
