HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1273 OF 2005 JUDGMENT: This Criminal Revision Case is preferred by the petitioners- accused against the judgment, dated 04.08.2005, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.78 of 2004 by the II Addl. Sessions Judge, Nalgonda at Suryapet. 2. The petitioners-accused were prosecuted in C.C.No.236 of 2001 for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 353, 332, 341, 342, and 506 r/w 34 IPC. After due trial, the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Suryapet, convicted the petitioners under Section 248 (2) Cr.P.C. for the offences under Sections 147 and 332 r/w 149 IPC and accordingly sentenced them to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year each and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each in default to undergo simple imprisonment for six months each, on each count, while acquitting them of the other offences, and also directed that both the sentences shall run concurrently, vide judgment, dated 12.05.2004. 3. As against the said conviction, the petitioners filed Criminal Appeal No.78 of 2004 on the file of the II Addl. Sessions Judge, Nalgonda at Suryapet and the learned Sessions Judge, after re- appreciation of both the oral and documentary evidence, dismissed the Criminal Appeal while confirming the conviction and sentence recorded against the petitioners by the learned Magistrate, vide judgment, dated 04.08.2005. Challenging the same, the petitioners preferred this revision. 4. Heard both sides. 5. 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. 6. In view of the said submission and also the fact that the trial Court as well as the appellate Court have given concurrent findings, this Court is of the view that the merits and demerits of the prosecution case and the impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. 7. It is represented that petitioners 1, 10 and 14 are aged 65 years, some of the petitioners are suffering with ill-health and some of the petitioners are eking out their livelihood by doing coolie work. Admittedly, the offence took place in the year 2001 and for all these years the petitioners suffered humiliation. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience towards the petitioners. 8. Accordingly, the conviction recorded against the petitioners-accused by the trial Court for the offences punishable under Sections 147 and 332 r/w 149 IPC as confirmed by the appellate Court is confirmed and the sentence of imprisonment is modified to that of the period already undergone by the petitioners-accused. In addition to the fine imposed by the trial Court, the petitioners are directed to pay additional fine of Rs.2,000/- (Rupees Two thousand only) each before the trial Court within a period of four (4) weeks, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for six (6) months each, on each count. 9. In all other respects, the impugned judgment shall stand confirmed. 10. With the above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 27th January, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1273 OF 2005 DATE: 27.01.2011 Between : Ganta Raghava Reddy and others … Petitioners/ Accused and State of A.P. ..Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1273 of 2005 (Disposed of) 27th January, 2011 cbs
