As per Clause VIII of Rule 55 of the Rules of the High Court for judicature for Rajasthan 1952 it is provided that a criminal appeal, application or reference under the Code of Criminal Procedure shall be heard and disposed of by a Judge sitting along except an appeal, application or reference in a case in which a sentence of death or imprisonment for life has been passed and in criminal matters against acquittal arising out of offences punishable only with death or imprisonment for life. 3. Rule 55, Clause (viii) is reproduced as under:- "(viii) a criminal appeal, application or reference under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 or any other law except an appeal, application reference in a case in which a sentence of death or imprisonment for life has been passed and in criminal matters against acquittal arising out of offences punishable only with death or imprisonment for life." 4. The offence under Section 307 IPC is punishable with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine; and if hurt is caused to any person by such act, the offender shall be liable either to imprisonment for life, or to such punishment as is herein before mentioned. 5.
