JUDGMENT ON REVISION

This matter coming up for revision under the Provisions of Section 364 of the CPC and having considered that the persons found guilty in Criminal Case No.3133/06 are minors, I hereby set aside the sentence of eight months imprisonment.  I also set aside the sentence  in Criminal Case No.3134/2006 so that the sentence of the subjects can be given fresh consideration while bearing in mind the principles of sentencing under the child offences rules.

Accordingly I refer both files Criminal Case No.3135/06, Criminal Case No.3133/06 to the Children’s Court for sentencing of the subjects.
