Hon'ble Shri Justice Gautam Chourdiya Order on Board 25/10/2021

1) The appeal i.e. CRA No.530 of 2020 and previously filed appeal CRA No.184 of 2020 are arising out of the same judgment of

Previously filed appeal i.e. CRA No.184 of 2020 has been preferred by the same appellant namely Basant Singh through his counsel. Since two appeals against the same judgment of conviction and sentence are not maintainable, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the appeal i.e. CRA No. 530 of 2020 is dismissed as not maintainable.

2) List CRA No. 184 of 2020 for hearing in the month of December, 2021.
