Counsel for Appellant :- G.A.

Hon'ble Vipin Sinha,J.

Hon'ble Ifaqat Ali Khan,J.

Learned AGA is permitted to carry out the necessary correction in the prayer clause of the

appeal during the course of the day with regard to the circumstances that the sole accused

respondent has been acquitted of the offences under section 25 of the Arms Act.

Heard learned AGA on the application seeking leave to appeal against the judgment and order

dated 17.4.2018 by means of which accused respondent has been acquitted for the offence

punishable under section 25 of the Arms Act.

Learned A.G.A. has strongly pressed the application with the contention that though the

accused respondent has been convicted under Section 302 IPC and has been sentenced to

undergo life imprisonment, however has been wrongly acquitted of the offence under Section

25 Arms Act. At the very outset, it may be appreciated that incident is of the year 2015 and

recovery of Tamancha has been made from the possession of the applicant on 13.1.2016.

We have perused the findings as has been recorded by the court concerned.
