THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.246 of 2004 JUDGMENT: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the accused against judgment dated 11.2.2004 made in Crl.A.No.107 of 2003 by the X Additional Sessions Judge (FTC), Guntur, confirming judgment dated 3.2.2003 in C.C.No.370 of 2000 on the file of the Court of I Additional Munsif Magistrate, Tenali. The case of the prosecution is as follows: The petitioner developed illicit intimacy with P.W.1-Isaram Vasundhara Devi and he used to squeeze money from her by beating and threatening her and on 19.8.2000 at 9 p.m., he went to her house and demanded money and when she expressed her inability to give money, he grew wild and beat with hands on her head and on her body and P.Ws.2 and 3 rescued her and on 22.8.2000 at 7 p.m., P.w.1 went to the police station concerned and presented report, basing on which, the case in Crime No.207 of 2000 on the file of Tenali P.S., was registered. After the completion of the investigation of the case, charge sheet was filed against the petitioner-accused for offences punishable under Sections 323 and 506 IPC before the I Additional Munsif Magistrate, Tenali. The learned Magistrate took cognizance of the case and numbered it as C.C.No.370 of 2000. During the course of trial, P.Ws.1 to 5 were examined and Exs.P-1 to P3 were marked on behalf of the prosecution. No oral or documentary evidence was adduced on behalf of the accused. On the appreciation of both oral and documentary evidence, the trial Court found the accused guilty of committing the offence punishable under sections 323 and 506 IPC and accordingly, convicted him and sentenced him to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of three months for each of the offences. It was also observed that both the sentences should run concurrently. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner-accused preferred C.A.No.107 of 2003 before the lower appellate Court. On re-appreciation of the evidence, the lower appellate Court partly allowed the appeal setting aside the conviction and sentence under section 506 IPC, but dismissed the appeal insofar as the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court under section 323 IPC are concerned. Aggrieved by the same, the present revision case is filed. Heard and perused the material available on record. It is represented that the petitioner was in judicial custody for 27 days. I have gone through the records including the judgment passed by the I Additional Munsif Magistrate, Tenali and also the judgment passed by the first appellate Court. There is no error apparent on the face of the judgment impugned. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the judgment of the appellate Court does not suffer from any illegality or irregularity and the revision case is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. However, it is important that he has been wandering around the Courts since many years by which he might have suffered a lot and after such long lapse of time, there would be no animosity in between the parties and under circumstances the sentence is modified to the period of detention already undergone. Accordingly, this criminal revision case is dismissed. _______________________ G. KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY, J Date:21.4.2011 Nn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.
