Since the conviction and sentence of respondent no.1 in C.C.No.8071/2016 had already been confirmed by the coordinate bench of this Court in Crl.R.P.No.811/2021, in which the petitioner was respondent no.2, this revision petition filed by the petitioner seeking modification of the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed in C.C.No.8071/2016 cannot be entertained; accordingly, the revision petition and the pending application stand dismissed.
