THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.323 of 2007 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioners-appellants (A-1 and A-8) against the judgment, dated 23.02.2007, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.46 of 2005 by the I Additional Sessions Judge, Adilabad, confirming the judgment of conviction and sentence passed in C.C.No.270 of 1998 by the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Adilabad. Initially, the trial Court convicted the petitioners under section 248(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and sentenced to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for a period of two years each for the offence under Section 471 IPC and to pay a fine of Rs.500/- each, and also sentenced to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for a period of two years each for the offence under Section 420 IPC and to pay a fine of Rs.500/- each for the offence under Section 120-B IPC. In the appeal, the appellate Court dismissed the appeal confirming the conviction and sentence imposed by the learned Magistrate. However, set aside the conviction and sentence imposed against the appellants for the charge under Section 471 IPC. Heard. After arguing for sometime, learned counsel for the petitioners by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments only to the extent of imposition of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence on the petitioners. This is a case where both the courts below gave concurrent findings and convicted the petitioners. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the conviction. Accordingly, the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court and as confirmed by the Appellate Court as far as the appellants are concerned, is hereby confirmed. In any event, taking into consideration the fact that the occurrence took place in the year 1992 and 19 other accused are already acquitted by the court below, the sentence of imprisonment imposed by the trial Court and confirmed by the appellate court is reduced to that of the period already undergone by the accused in prison. The remaining portion of the impugned judgment, including fine amount is not interfered with. With the above modifications, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date:21.04.2011 Rns
