THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO. 499 AND 508 OF 2005 COMMON ORDER: Since both these revisions are connected, they are being disposed of together by this common order. These criminal revision cases are filed being aggrieved against the common judgment dated 21.3.2005 in Criminal Appeal No. 119 and 130 of 2003 on the file of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Vijayawada in partly confirming the sentence and conviction passed by the VI Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada in C.C. No. 232 of 2002 dated 7.4.2003. The petitioners herein are accused nos. 1 and 2 in CC No.232 of 2002 registered against them along with other accused on the file of the Court of VI Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada. The trial Court on consideration of the evidence available on record, convicted and sentenced the petitioners along with other accused to undergo simple imprisonment for three months each and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for 15 days each for the offence under section 292 of Indian Penal Code. As against the said judgment, the petitioners herein filed appeals in Criminal Appeal Nos. 119 and 130 of 2003 on the file of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Vijayawada. On re-appreciation of the matter, the lower Appellate Court by order dated 21.3.2005 allowed the appeals in part, upholding the conviction for the offence under Section 292 of Indian Penal Code and converting the sentence of imprisonment imposed to rigorous imprisonment for one month each, by giving set off to the period already undergone including the remand period and confirming the fine amount imposed. Against the said order, the present Criminal Revision Cases are preferred. On earlier occasion on 3.12.2010 when the matter is taken up, there was no representation made on behalf of the petitioner, as such, today the matter is listed under the caption ‘for dismissal’. Today when the matter is taken up, Mr Ravinder, made a representation that the learned counsel for petitioner is not in a position to appear before the Court due to some personal inconvenience. This Court perused the entire records since the matter is pending before this Court for the last about five years. This Court perused the entire record and judgment and there is no perversity warranting interference of this Court. Accordingly, the conviction is not interfered but taking into consideration the long pendency of the matter, the sentence is modified and reduced to the period already undergone. The fine imposed by the Court below needs no interference. Subject to above modification, the Criminal Revision Cases are disposed of. _____________ RAJA ELANGO,J DATE: 23.12.2010 TVK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO. 499 AND 508 OF 2005 Date: 23.12.2010
