4 All. Yogendra & Anr. Vs. The State of U.P. & Anr.
47
India. Apart from this, in the impugned
order by which the respondent no. 5, Man
Singh has been granted remission in his
sentence, there is no notice of the fact that
he has a criminal history of 26 other
criminal cases against him. As it has been
held by the Apex Court in Swaran Singh
(supra) that where the Governor granted
remission of sentence to a convict in
ignorance of the fact that several other
criminal cases were pending against him,
the byproduct order cannot get the approval
of law and in such cases, judicial hand must
be stretched to it.

23. From the above mentioned facts
and circumstances of the case, we are of the
considered opinion that respondent no. 5,
Man Singh was not entitled to remission of
sentence as this case was covered by the
prohibition no. (x) mentioned in above
G.O. dated 01.08.2018 and while granting
remission, his 26 other criminal cases was
not brought to the notice of the Governor.

24. Thus, the impugned order dated
01.08.2018 by which respondent no. 5,
Man Singh was granted remission of
sentence was without authority of law and
is liable to be set-aside.

25. Accordingly, the writ petition
stands allowed. The aforesaid impugned
order
no.
314/22-2-2019-17(150)/2019,
Lucknow
dated
01.02.2019
granting
remission to respondent no. 5, Man Singh
is hereby quashed and set-aside.

26. The respondent no. 5, Man Singh
shall surrender before the Sessions Judge,
Jhansi within 30 days from today and he
will be sent to Central Jail, Agra, to
undergo the remaining part of his sentence.
In case, the respondent no. 5, Man Singh
does not surrender within the aforesaid
period, the Sessions Judge, Jhansi will take
coercive measure to ensure his appearance
before the court and send him to Central
Jail, Agra for undergoing his remaining
sentence.

27. Copy of the order be sent to
Sessions Judge, Jhansi for necessary
compliance.

Criminal Revision is dismissed. (E-11)

(Delivered by Hon'ble Mrs. Jyotsna
Sharma, J.)

01. None responds for the revisionists.
Learned A.G.A. for the State is present.

02. This criminal revision has been filed
against the order dated 06.09.2022 by which the
application moved under Section 227 Cr.P.C. for
discharging the accused persons for offence under
Section 308 I.P.C. was dismissed and case was
posted for framing of charge.

03. The material facts are as below:-

The F.I.R. against the applicants and
two more has been filed under Section 323 and
324 I.P.C. with the allegations that the accused
persons were raising construction to encroach
upon the land of Gram Samaj. The first informant
and his brother protested. Irked over such
interference accused persons physically assaulted
the first informant Sanjay Tiwari and his brother
causing them injuries. After investigation
chargesheet has been filed under Sections 308,
323, 504 and 506 I.P.C.

04. Perusal of the revision memo shows that
the revisionists are aggrieved by order for framing
charge under Section 308 I.P.C. in addition and
rejection of discharge application. The only
ground taken by the revisionist is that injuries
sustained by the injured persons were not fatal in
nature. There was not a single fracture on vital part
of the person of any of the injured.

05. I went through material on record.
Papers show that there were three injured persons
namely Ramashankar Tiwari who sustained seven
injuries on his person and four out them were
above neck, Chandan Tiwari who sustained five
injuries, with one on the head and the X-ray
showed soft tissues shadow, mildly increased over
vault of skull. The third Umashankar Tiwari
sustained three injuries.

06. It is settled position that number of
injuries or nature of injuries are not the sole factor
to decide upon whether any and if so what offence
affecting human body is made out. The intention
or knowledge as the case may be and even
attending facts and circumstances may be of even
greater significance.

07. In my view, nature of the injuries, seat of
injuries and number thereof may be material but
are not everything to decide upon the fact as to
which charge is made out. However, in this case
from the contents of the F.I.R. coupled with
medical evidence , prima facie offence under
Section 308 I.P.C. is made out. At the stage of
framing of charge no in depth enquiry into
evidence or credibility thereto is required. I do not
find any illegality or impropriety or incorrectness
in the order so as to justify interference by
revisional court.

08. The criminal revision is dismissed at the
stage of admission.
