Representation
- Malik Abdul Majid Khan for Petitioner.
- After arguing the case at some length, learned counsel for the petitioner while relying upon 1991 P Cr. L J 371, submitted that petitioner could not be convicted and sentenced for both the offences under sections 420 and 406, P.P.C. for the same transaction. Learned Assistant Advocate-General when confronted with the proposition also conceded to that effect. In these circumstances, after going through the evidence the conviction and sentence awarded under section 420, P.P.C. is set aside. As far as the conviction and sentence under section 406, P.P.C. is concerned the same is maintained. There is ample evidence which could connect the petitioner with the said offence. The evidence produced is confidence inspiring and had rightly been relied upon by both the Courts below. Revision is disposed of with the above modification. Petitioner shall also be entitled to the concession of section 382-B, Cr.P.C.
