THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.447 of 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioners-appellants 1 and 2 – Accused 1 and 3 against the judgment, dated 14.12.2004, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.68 of 2004 by the IX Additional District and Sessions Judge (F.T.C.), Guntur. Initially, the first petitioner-A1 was convicted under section 235(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of two months and to pay a fine of Rs.1000/-, in default, to suffer simple imprisonment for one month for the offence punishable under section 325 of Indian Penal Code and the second petitioner-A3 was convicted under section 235(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of two months and to pay a fine of Rs.1000/-, in default, to suffer simple imprisonment for one month for the offence punishable under section 325 read with 149 of Indian Penal Code. Against the same, they preferred appeal. In appeal, the appellate Court modified the conviction of A-1 and A-3 to Section 324 read with 34 IPC respectively and sentenced A-1 to pay a fine of Rs.4,000/-, in default to suffer SI for one month and A-3 is sentenced to pay a fine of Rs.3,000/- in default to suffer SI for one month. Questioning the said order, they preferred the present revision. Heard. After arguing for sometime, learned counsel for the petitioners by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments to the extent of imposition of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence on the petitioners. This Court perused the entire material on record and this court is not able to see any illegality or infirmity in the impugned judgment. The conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court and as modified by the appellate court is hereby confirmed. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the conviction recorded against the petitioners will affect their future, since they are Government employees. This Court is of the view that the conviction under Section 324 IPC does not affect the moral turpitude of the petitioners. Hence, there cannot be any departmental action against the petitioners. With above observation, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date:21.01.2011 Rns
