STATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Shri Rajiv Jiwan, learned counsel for the petitioner states that he has no instructions in this case and he may be permitted to withdraw from the case. The request is allowed. However, taking into consideration that the instant is a criminal case and cannot be dismissed for want of prosecution, I requested Shri Rajiv Jiwan, Advocate, to assist this Court as Amicus Curiae to which he readily agreed.

(2.) This criminal revision petition has been filed against the judgment passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Bilaspur, District Bilaspur, on 28.11.2008, whereby he affirmed the judgment passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bilaspur, District Bilaspur, on 07.05.2007.

(3.) The brief facts giving rise to the present case are that the petitioner was charged for the offences punishable under Sections 279, 338, 201 of the Indian Penal Code (for short 'I.P.C.') and Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act (for short 'M.V. Act').
