Misra, J.

1. The learned Assistant Sessions Judge of Arrah convicted petitioner Mangal Singh of charges under Sections 467, 471 and 193 of the Penal Code and sentenced him to rigorous imprisonment for a period of four years under Sec. 467, Penal Code. He was also sentenced to the same term of imprisonment under Sec. 471. Penal Code. No separate sentence was, however, passed on his conviction under Sec.193, Penal Code.

The sentences under Sections 467 and 471 of the Penal Code were made concurrent. On appeal by the petitioner, the learned Additional Sessions Judge of Arrah upheld the convictions but reduced the sentences both under Sections 467 and 471, Penal Code, to two years and ordered them to run concurrently. This petition has been preferred against the conviction and sentence passed upon him by the learned Additional Sessions Judge.

2. The petitioner was prosecuted as a result of a proceeding under Sec. 476 of the Criminal P.C. ordered against him by the learned Sub-divisional Officer, Buxar. The petitioner was alleged to have filed a sada deed of exchange dated 4-5-1950, in the court of the learned Sub-divisional Officer in a proceeding under Sec.144. Criminal P. C.
