BETWEEN : T.Rambabu & another ..Petitioners-A.1 & A.2 and The State of A.P. ..Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1147 OF 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short ‘Cr.P.C.’) is filed by the petitioners-A.1 and A.2 against the judgment, dated 14.06.2005, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.73 of 2005 by the IV Additional District & Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Tanuku, confirming the judgment of conviction and sentence passed in C.C.No.418 of 2001 dated 16.03.2005 by the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tanuku, wherein the learned Magistrate acquitted A.1 and A.2 under Section 248 (1) Cr.P.C. for the offence punishable under Sections 406 and 408 of Indian Penal Code, however, convicted the petitioners under section 248 (2) Cr.P.C. and sentenced them to undergo simple imprisonment for six months for the offence punishable under section 411 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code. Heard. 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 judgment need not be adjudicated. Admittedly, the crime occurred in the year 2001 and for all these years the petitioners suffered humiliation and also stigma in the society. It is represented that the petitioners are the sole breadwinners of their respective families and have to look after the welfare their family members. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience against the petitioners. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed. However, considering the circumstances of the case, the sentence of imprisonment is modified to that of the period already undergone by the petitioners 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 : 30.09.2010 sur
