IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD MONDAY, THE NINTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1293 OF 2010 Between: Sultan Mohiuddin … PETITIONER And The State of A.P. & 3 others … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1293 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. This revision petition is sought to be filed by the de facto complainant who is father of the deceased woman questioning judgment dated 07.04.2010, passed by the V Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge (Mahila Court) Hyderabad, in Sessions Case No.384 of 2009, whereby the respondents 2 to 4/A2, A4 and A6 were acquitted of the charges under Sections 498A, 304B I.P.C. and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. By the same judgment, the lower Court convicted A1 for offence punishable under Section 304 (Part II) I.P.C. and sentenced him to rigorous imprisonment for seven years and fine of Rs.1,000/-. 2. Scope of this revision petition filed under Section 397 Cr.P.C. is very much limited. This Court while exercising revisional powers, cannot alter finding of acquittal into one of conviction, as per Section 401 (3) Cr.P.C. The lower Court, after assessing the prosecution evidence, came to the conclusion that there are no grounds to find the above accused persons guilty of the above offences. This Court cannot undertake reassessment of evidence in a revision petition. No doubt, it may be a good ground in case the state is going to file appeal against acquittal. I do not find any scope for interference with judgment of the lower Court in this revision petition. 3. Hence, the criminal revision petition is dismissed. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 09, 2010 KL HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1293 OF 2010 August 09, 2010 KL
