2. ON 5th October, 1974 at about 10.30 p.m. the applicant was driving truck No. USK, 3495 on the Gandhi Road, in a rash and negligent manner with the result that when he reached the crossing of Raja Road he knocked down Indra Singh, who was then on a cycle. A little distance ahead he knocked Jogendra Singh, who was coming on a scooter. Both Indra Singh and Jogendra .Singh received injuries. ON these allegations the applicant was sent up for his prosecution for the aforesaid offences.

He, however, pleaded that he was not driving the same in a rash and negligent manner and that the accident took place because of the negligent acts of Indra Singh and Jogendra Singh.

3. THE trial court held the applicant guilty of both the offences and sentenced him to pay a fine of Rs. 500/- for each of them. Aggrieved again
