Judgment :
Both the aforementioned Criminal Appeals arise out of the common judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated 11.01.2010 passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Kendrapara in S.T. Case No.26/2005, whereby the accused persons were acquitted of the charges under Section 148 IPC and Section 3 of the SC & ST (P.A.) Act, but found guilty under Sections 147, 323 and 337 read with Section 149 IPC. The learned trial Court sentenced each of the convicted persons to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months on each count, with the sentences directed to run concurrently, along with the benefit of set-off under Section 428 Cr.P.C. Since the impugned judgment is common, both appeals were heard together and are disposed of by this common judgment.
