IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE THIRD DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1313 OF 2010 Between: P. Reddiswarsana … PETITIONER And Peddireddigari Harinatha Reddy and another … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1313 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. This revision is sought to be filed by the de facto complainant against finding of acquittal recorded in judgment, dated 17.03.2010, passed by the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Thamballapalle, in C.C.No.84 of 2007. The first respondent/accused was charged in the lower Court for offence punishable under Section 498-A I.P.C. After full-fledged trial, the lower Court found him not guilty of the offence. While exercising jurisdiction under Section 397 Cr.P.C., this Court as per Section 401 (3) Cr.P.C. cannot alter finding of acquittal into one of conviction. In the lower Court, PWs.5 to 7, who are villagers in the village where the de facto complainant and the accused lived together, turned hostile and did not support the prosecution case. The lower Court further found that evidence of PWs.2 to 4 is in the form of hear- say and so no weight need be attached to their evidence. Ultimately, after assessment of evidence let in by the prosecution, the lower Court acquitted the accused. There is no irregularity or illegality or infirmity in the judgment passed by the lower Court. 2. Hence, the Criminal Revision Petition is dismissed. ___________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 03, 2010 MD HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1313 OF 2010 August 03, 2010
