THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1421 OF 2005 DATED 25th APRIL, 2011. BETWEEN : Syed Ahmed Zeenath … Revision Petitioner and The State of A.P. … Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1421 OF 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the petitioner-accused challenging the judgment dated 23.08.2005 rendered in Criminal Appeal No.23 of 2004 by the learned IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Nizamabad. Initially, the petitioner-accused was prosecuted in C.C.No.230 of 2001 by the learned Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nizamabad, wherein by judgment dated 16.03.2004 he was found guilty for the offence under Section 49 of Standards of Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1985, for violation of Section 29 of the said Act and convicted under Section 255 (2) Cr.P.C. and sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of Rs.500/-, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for three months. Aggrieved over the same, petitioner herein preferred an appeal. In appeal, the learned Sessions Judge confirmed the conviction and sentence of imprisonment imposed by the trial Court but however set aside the imposition of fine 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, petitioner is now aged about 72 years. 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 modified 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. The remaining portion of the impugned judgment shall stand unchanged. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 25.04.2011 sur
