THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRL.R.C.No.453 of 2004 AND CRL.R.C.MP.No.3273 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal revision case is directed against the judgment dated 08.03.2004 passed in Crl.A.No.44 of 2002, whereby the learned IV-Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Nizamabad, while dismissing the said appeal, confirmed the sentence of imprisonment imposed against the petitioner-A1 by the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Kamareddy, in C.C.No.36 of 2001 dated 15.07.2002. Brief facts of the case are that on 02.02.2001 while the complainant-P.W.1 was returning to his house at about 1.00 P.M after planting sugarcane seeds in his agricultural land, the petitioner-A1 and another obstructed him and beat him with hands and also with a stone on his mouth, as a result, P.W.1 sustained an injury to his tooth. On the basis of a report lodged by P.W.1, the police registered a case in Crime No.20 of 2001 against the accused under Section 324 of I.P.C. Eventually, after completion of investigation, the police laid charge sheet against the accused under Section 326 of I.P.C. During the course of trial, the prosecution examined P.Ws.1 to 5 and got marked Exs.P1 and P2 to prove the guilt of the accused. On a perusal of the entire evidence, both oral and documentary, the trial Court found the revision petitioner-A1 guilty of the offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C. and accordingly convicted and sentenced him to suffer simple imprisonment for a period of six months and to pay a fine of Rs.500/-, in default, to suffer simple imprisonment for a period of two months. However, A-2 was acquitted of the offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C. In an appeal preferred by the revision petitioner-A1 against the said conviction and sentence, the learned IV- Additional District and Sessions Judge, (Fast Track Court), Nizamabad, dismissed the said appeal confirming the judgment of the trial Court. Aggrieved by the same, the revision petitioner-A1 preferred this criminal revision. Along with the revision, the revision petitioner filed CRl.R.C.MP.No.3273 of 2010 requesting this Court to compound the offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C. since the parties have compromised the matter at the instance of elders. Today, the complainant, who was examined as P.W.1, and the petitioner-A1 are present before this Court. This Court when questioned the complainant, he stated that the matter has been settled amicably and he is no longer interested in pursuing the case and, therefore, the offence charged against the petitioner-A1 may be compounded. After hearing the learned Counsel for both sides as well as both the parties, this Court is satisfied that the parties have settled the dispute amicably and the complainant agreed to withdraw the complaint lodged against the petitioner-A1. In the light of the compromise arrived at between the parties and as the offence alleged against the petitioner-A1 is compoundable, the compromise memo filed by both the parties is recorded and Crl.Rc.MP.No.3273 of 2010 is allowed and the offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C. is compounded. The Criminal Revision Cases is accordingly allowed and the conviction and sentence passed against the petitioner-A1 by the trial Court for the offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C., as confirmed by the appellate Court, are hereby set aside and the petitioner-A1 is acquitted of the said offence. Fine amount, if any, paid by the petitioner-A1 shall be refunded to him. _____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 25-11-2010 Gsn.
