He was convicted under Section 382 read with Section 34 IPC and sentences to undergo 4 years rigorous imprisonment. He was also convicted under Section 25(1-B)(<em>a<\/em>) of the Arms Act and sentenced to undergo 1-year rigorous imprisonment. By the order on sentence, trial court directed both sentences to run one after the other, i.e. consecutively. This order was challenged in the present petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Archit Upadhyay, Advocate for the petitioner contended that the impugned order was erroneous and contrary to the settled position of law.
