THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.752 OF 2011 ORDER: 1 Petitioners herein along with two others were tried as accused by the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Markapur in C.C.No.148 of 2008 for the offences punishable under sections 324 r/w 34 of IPC. During the course of trial the prosecution examined P.Ws.1 to 9 and got marked Exs.P.1 to P.7. The trial court having assessed the entire evidence found all the accused guilty of the offence punishable under section 324 r/w 34 of IPC and accordingly sentenced them to suffer simple imprisonment for a period of one year each and also to pay a fine of Rs.100/- each, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for a period of one week each. Aggrieved by the said judgment dated 20.09.2010 all the accused preferred Criminal Appeal No.181 of 2010 before the learned VI Additional District & Sessions Judge (FTC), Prakasam at Markapur. The learned Additional Sessions Judge, while allowing the said appeal partly and acquitting the accused 1 and 4 of the said offence, however confirmed the conviction and sentence imposed on the petitioners by the trial court by his judgment dated 23.03.2011. Questioning the same, the accused preferred this revision. 2 Facts in brief are that on 08.04.2008 at about 6.00 p.m. due to the altercation that took place between the accused and the de facto complainant A.2 beat P.W.1 with a stick on his head and caused bleeding injury. A.4 also beat him with stick on his left shoulder and A.1 threw a stone on him and caused injury to his right elbow. A.3 hit P.W.2 with a stick on her head causing bleeding injury. In that connection a case in Cr.No.19 of 2008 was registered and investigated into and after completion of investigation filed the charge sheet. 3 When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners fairly conceded that this is not a fit case for interference, but, however, he requested this court to take a lenient view in so far as the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioners is concerned. 4 Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners this court looked into the record. The appellate court dismissed the appeal on 23.03.2011 and immediately they were taken into custody. Thus from the last six days the petitioners are in jail. Having regard to the fact that the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioners is only for a period of one year and also in view of the fact that the petitioners have already served a sentence of six days by now and inasmuch as the alleged offence took place on 08.04.2008 this court is of the view that lenient view can be taken in so far as the said sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioners by the courts below is concerned. 5 In the result, the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioners by the court below is reduced to that of the period, which the petitioners have already undergone and the petitioners shall be released forthwith if not required in any other crime. Excepting the above modification, in all other aspects, this Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. _________ 28.03.2011 Kvsn
