This Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.670 OF 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 of Cr.P.C is filed by the petitioners-accused against the judgment, dated 12.04.2005, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.31 of 2002 by the III Additional District and Sessions Judge (FTC), Gadwal. The petitioners-accused were prosecuted in C.C.No.29 of 2000 for the offence punishable under Section 324 read with 34 of IPC wherein after due trial, the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Gadwal, convicted the petitioners-accused under Section 248 (2) Cr.P.C. and sentenced A-2 to suffer simple imprisonment for a period of two years for the offence punishable under Section 324 IPC and sentenced A-1, A-3 and A-4 to suffer simple imprisonment for two years each for the offence punishable under Section 324 read with 34 of IPC. As against the said conviction, the petitioners-accused preferred Criminal Appeal No.31 of 2002 on the file of the learned III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Gadwal, and the learned Sessions Judge, dismissed the appeal upholding the conviction and sentence imposed by the learned Magistrate, by judgment dated 12.04.2005. Challenging the same, the present revision is filed. Heard both sides. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioners by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments to the extent of imposition of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence on the petitioners. In view of the said submission, this Court is of the view that merits of the prosecution case and impugned judgments need not be adjudicated. Perused the record and the evidence adduced. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that after a lapse of 10 years, now the petitioners are leading a peaceful life and there are no inimical terms between the revision petitioners and the injured person. Further, the petitioners herein are only breadwinners and they have to look after their family and their children. Considering the submission of the learned counsel and also it is an admitted fact that the occurrence took place in the year 2000, this Court is inclined to show some leniency against the petitioners. Accordingly, the conviction is confirmed and the sentence of imprisonment is reduced to that of the period already undergone by the petitioners. Apart from that, the petitioners are further directed to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- (Rupees one thousand only) each, before the trial Court, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, in default, the petitioners are directed to undergo simple imprisonment for one month each. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 01-12-2010 Dsh
