THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA Crl.R.C.No.1339 of 2004 ORDER This revision is directed against the judgment, dated 20.02.2004, passed by the learned II Additional Sessions Judge, Chittoor at Madanapalli in Crl.A.No.151 of 2003, wherein the conviction and sentence imposed by the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Vayalpad, in C.C.No.1 of 2001, dated 03.02.2003, was confirmed. 2. The case of the prosecution is that on 30.10.2000 at about 2.00 PM, while P.W.1 and others were sitting in the tea stall, the petitioner/accused being the driver of APSRTC bus bearing No.AP 10 Z 834 of Madanapalle-I depot, drove it in a rash and negligent manner, due to which, the bus went off the road and entered into the tea stall, thereby caused the death of two persons and injuries to some others besides damage to the tea stall and the house. Hence, a case in Cr.No.61 of 2000 was registered by the Police, Gurramkonda Police Station for the offences under Sections 304- A, 338, 337 IPC and Sections 134(a) and (b) of the Motor Vehicles Act. 3. During trial, P.Ws.1 to 7 were examined and Exs.P1 to P11 were marked on behalf of the prosecution. D.Ws.1 and 2 were examined and Ex.D1 was marked on behalf of the petitioner/accused. The trial court having considered the entire evidence on record, found the petitioner guilty of the said offences and accordingly, convicted and sentenced him to pay a fine of Rs.3,000/-for the offence under Section 304-A IPC, in default he shall undergo simple imprisonment for a period of six months, Rs.1,000/-for the offence under Section 338 IPC, in default, he shall undergo simple imprisonment for a period of two months, Rs.500/-for the offence under Section 337 IPC, in default he shall undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one month and Rs.50/- each for the offences under Sections 134(a) and 134(b) of the Motor Vehicles Act, in default he shall undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one week for each offence. 4. Having heard the submissions made by the learned counsel for both sides and perused the material on record, this Court is of the view that the trial Court is justified in imposing fine amount for the said offences rather than imprisonment, by taking a lenient view on the part of the petitioner as he being the driver of APSRTC and there is no need to interfere with the judgments of both the Courts below. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. ___________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J Date:03.02.2011 sj
