Upon perusal of order passed by this Court in First Appeal No.2035 of 2014, I am inclined to adopt the same view in the present appeals. In the said matter, this Court has dismissed the appeals filed by the State. Therefore, the present appeal filed by the State deserves to be dismissed. 7. Hence, the present appeal stands dismissed. No order as to costs. 8. Pending civil applications, if any, are also disposed of. (SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.)
