The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on the night of 07.04.1998, the petitioners/A1 and A2 and one unknown person set fire the current starters belonging to P. Ranga Swamy Naidu-de facto complainant. Based on the complaint, a case in Crime No.15 of 1998 was registered against A1 and A2 and the charge sheet is filed for the offence punishable under Section 435 IPC. The case was taken on file as C.C.No.80 of 1998 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gadwal. 3. In support of the case of the prosecution, P.Ws.1 to 6 were examined and got marked Exs.P1 to P4 and Ex.D1 was marked for defence. 4. Learned Magistrate having considered the said evidence, found the petitioners guilty of the offence under Section 435 IPC and accordingly, convicted and sentenced them to undergo S.I. for a period of one year each and also to pay a fine of Rs.200/-each, in default, they shall undergo S.I. for a period of six months each. The same was questioned by the petitioners by filing Crl.A.No.35 of 1999 on the file of the III Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Mahabubnagar, Gadwal. The learned Sessions Judge, having re-appreciated the entire evidence, confirmed said conviction and sentence. Hence, this revision. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that a lenient view may be taken in the case of the petitioners. 6.

In those circumstances and in the light of the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, this Court is of the view that the sentence imposed on the petitioners by the trial Court can be reduced to the period already undergone by them. 7. Accordingly, the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioners by the trial Court is reduced from one year S.I. to the period already undergone by them. Except the said modification, in all other aspects, the criminal revision case is dismissed. ___________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J Date:18.11.2010 sj
