THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.179 OF 2006 DATED 30th APRIL, 2011. BETWEEN : K.Narasimha Rao … Revision Petitioner- Accused and The State of A.P. … Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.179 OF 2006 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the revision petitioner- accused challenging the judgment dated 23.01.2006 rendered in Criminal Appeal No.14 of 2005 by the learned III Additional Sessions Judge (FTC-II), Khammam. Initially, the petitioner-accused was prosecuted in C.C.No.434 of 2001 by the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Yellandu, wherein by judgment dated 25.02.2005 he was found guilty for the offence punishable under Sections 304A, 338 and 337 of Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year and to pay fine of Rs.1000/- in default to suffer rigorous imprisonment for one month for the offence punishable under Section 304A IPC. Since the accused was convicted and sentenced for the major offence punishable under Section 304A IPC, no separate sentence was passed for the offence punishable under Sections 338 and 337 IPC. Aggrieved over the said conviction and sentence, petitioner preferred an appeal. The learned Sessions Judge while dismissing the appeal confirmed the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court. Challenging the same, present revision has been preferred. Heard. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioner 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 petitioner. In view of the said submission, this Court is of the view that merits of the Prosecution case and impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. Admittedly, the occurrence took place in the year 2001 and for all these years the petitioner suffered humiliation and also stigma in the society. Further, it is represented that the petitioner is the sole breadwinner of his family and has to look after the welfare of his family members. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience towards the petitioner in imposition of sentence. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court and as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed. However, the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioner is hereby reduced to that of the period already undergone by him in prison. Further, the petitioner shall pay Rs.4,000/- as fine within a period of three months from today. The fine amount now imposed by this Court shall be in addition to the fine amount imposed by the trial Court. In default of payment of fine, the petitioner shall undergo two months simple imprisonment. The remaining portion of the impugned judgment shall stand unchanged. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 30.04.2011 sur
