marked. Both the courts have found that the evidence of

witnesses adduced PWs 2,3,5 and 10 established the prosecution

allegation that the accused drove the vehicle in a negligent

manner. About 18 passengers sustained injuries and the injuries

of some of the passengers were grievous in nature. I find no

reason for interference in the findings of the courts below. The

sentence imposed is just flea bite in nature. The revision petition

is dismissed in limine.
