THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.621 OF 2005 DATED 7th DECEMBER, 2010. BETWEEN : D.China Khasim Meera ..Petitioner-Appellant and The State of A.P. ..Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.621 OF 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioner- accused against the judgment, dated 31.03.2005, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.458 of 2003 by the IX Additional District & Sessions Judge at Guntur whereby he confirmed the conviction and modified the sentence imposed in Calendar Case No.101 of 2002 by the VI Additional Munsif Magistrate, Guntur, vide judgment dated 13.11.2003. Heard. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioner 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 petitioner. 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 occurrence took place in the year 2002 and for all these years the petitioner suffered humiliation and also stigma in the society. It is represented that the petitioner is the sole breadwinner of his family and has to look after the welfare his family members. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience against the petitioner. 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 imposed on the petitioner is hereby reduced to that of the period already undergone by him in prison. Further, the petitioner shall pay a fine of Rs.3,000/- for the offence punishable under Sections 337, 338 and 304A of Indian Penal Code each apart from the fine amount already imposed by the Courts below. Total fine amount imposed by this Court on the petitioner is Rs.9,000/-, which shall be paid by the petitioner on or before 21.02.2011. In default of payment of fine, the petitioner shall undergo simple imprisonment for one month under each count. The remaining portion of the impugned judgment shall stand unchanged. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 07.12.2010 sur
