                HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE FARJAND ALI

Order 29/05/2024

1. What is emanating from the record is that the accused respondents were tried for committing an offence under Sections 148, 323, 324 and 325 read with Section 149 of IPC and after a rigorous trial, vide judgment dated 04.07.2001 they were convicted and sentenced. Being aggrieved by the Judgment of conviction and order of sentence, the accused respondents preferred an appeal under Section 374 Cr.P.C. being appeal No.12/2002. Vide judgment dated 24.02.2023 the learned court of appeal though maintained the judgment of conviction passed by (Downloaded on 03/06/2024 at 08:36:48 PM) [2024:RJ-JD:24702] (2 of 2) [CRLR-374/2005] the learned trial court but modified the order of sentence and directed that the benefit of probation be given to the accused.

2. After hearing for the counsel for the parties, this Court feels that an absolute authority has been conferred upon a criminal court to extend the benefit of probation if a case falls within the category of either under Section 360 of Cr.P.C. or Section of 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act. The requisites before extending the benefit of probation are the circumstances of the case, circumstance under which the offence was committed, the age of the accused, social background, the character and previous antecedents of a convict. The above things have been duly considered by learned Session Judge. I am of the view that no error has been committed in extending the benefit of probation to the petitioner.

3. There is no force in the instant criminal revision petition. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. The record be sent back.
