ORDER
Date : 28-08-2026 (M. Zothankhuma, J) Mr. R.R. Kaushik, learned Addl. P.P appears for the State.
2. This appeal has been submitted through the Superintendent, District Jail, Sribhumi in respect of the appellant Raju Kohar, S/o Shyamlal Kohar, Vill. Dakshin Chantilla, P.S Ratabari, Dist. Sribhumi, Assam, to the effect that he has been convicted under Section 302 IPC and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life with a fine of Rs.10,000/-, with default stipulation vide Judgment & Order dated 02.05.2019 passed in Sessions Case No.117/2014 by the learned Sessions Judge, Karimganj.
3. The appellant in this appeal dated 18.07.2026 has submitted that he had moved the Gauhati High Court and the Hon’ble Supreme Court against the impugned Judgment & Order dated 02.05.2019 passed in connection with his conviction in Sessions Case No.117/2014 under Section 302 IPC. However, no relief has been given to him. As he has already undergone imprisonment for a period of nearly 8 years, he has asked for mercy by minimising his sentence from life conviction to a period of 10 years.
4. We have noticed the appellant’s application and also the Judgment dated 17.08.2021 passed by the this Court in Crl. A. (J) 52/2019, whereupon his challenge to his conviction and sentence under Section 302 IPC by the learned Sessions Judge, Karimganj in Sessions Case No.117/2014 vide Judgment dated 02.05.2019 had been rejected/dismissed. Though there are some documents showing that he had approached the Hon’ble Supreme Court by way of an SLP against his conviction by the learned Trial Court and the rejection of his appeal by this Court, there is nothing to indicate that the SLP that has been filed by him before the Hon’ble Supreme Court has been decided.
5. In any event, as this Court has already rejected the appellant’s appeal, i.e, Crl. A. (J) 52/2019 vide the impugned Judgment dated 17.08.2021, we do not find any ground to entertain the present appeal.
6. The appeal is accordingly dismissed.
