HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL APPEAL No.2039 of 2004 JUDGMENT: The State ﬁled this appeal against lenient punishment of imposition of ﬁne of Rs.50/- on the respondent/A.2 for the oﬀence under Section 324 IPC. A.1 to A.3 are no other than tenants of PW.1 who is the injured. A.2 is stated to have beat PW.1 with iron rod on his fore-head. Medical evidence of PW.4 corroborates the same. But, the prosecution did not recover the crime weapon ie., iron rod. Having regard to age of A.2 and also the responsibilities, the lower Court took a lenient view. I do not ﬁnd any valid reasons to interfere with the said lenient punishment awarded by the lower Court, in this appeal after 9 years. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. ____________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J Dt. 2nd December, 2011. PNV
