THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.115 OF 2006 DATED 27th JANUARY, 2011. BETWEEN : S.Amarendra Varma @ Nani … Petitioner-accused and The State of A.P. & another … Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.115 OF 2006 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the petitioner-accused challenging the judgment dated 19.01.2006 rendered in Criminal Appeal No.122 of 2004 by the learned VIII Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Krishna at Vijayawada. Initially, the petitioner-accused was prosecuted in C.C.No.869 of 2002 by the learned III Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada, wherein he was convicted under Section 248 (2) Cr.P.C. and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of Rs.2,000/-, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for two months, for the charge under Section 324 of Indian Penal Code. Aggrieved over the said conviction, petitioner preferred an appeal. In appeal, the learned Sessions Judge while confirming the conviction reduced the sentence of imprisonment imposed by the trial Court from one year to six months and confirmed the fine amount. Challenging the same, present revision has been preferred. Heard. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioner by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments only 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 and 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. The remaining portion of the impugned judgment including fine amount shall stand unchanged. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 27.01.2011 sur
