THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1070 OF 2005 DATED 30th DECEMBER, 2010. BETWEEN : Md.Azeez .. Petitioner-accused and The State of A.P. ..Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1070 OF 2005 ORDER: This is a revision arising out of conviction imposed by the trial Court and confirmed by the Appellate Court whereby the petitioner was convicted for an offence under Sections 304A and 337 of Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo one year simple imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs.2,000/- for the offence under Section 304A IPC and Rs.200/- for the offence under Section 337 IPC. Heard. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioner confined his arguments only to the extent of imposition of sentence and prayed this Court to show some indulgence on the petitioner in imposition of sentence. This is a case where both the Courts below gave concurrent findings convicting the accused. Hence, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the case. Considering the fact that seven years have been lapsed from the date of occurrence and the petitioner being the only breadwinner of his family, this Court is of the view that a lenient view can be taken in favour of the petitioner in imposition of sentence. Hence, 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 for the offence under Section 304A IPC is reduced from one year to that of the period already undergone by him in prison. Further, the petitioner is directed to pay a sum of Rs.2,000/- (Rupees Two Thousand only) towards fine for the offence under Section 304A IPC apart from the fine amount already imposed by the trial Court. Petitioner shall pay the fine amount, now imposed, on or before 28.02.2011, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for two months. As far as offence under Section 337 IPC is concerned, the conviction and sentence of the Courts below is not interfered with. Remaining portion of the impugned judgment shall stand unchanged. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 30.12.2010 sur
