THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1425 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case, under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, is filed by the petitioners/A-1 & A-2 against the judgment, dated 17.06.2011, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.4 of 2011 on the file of the Judge, Family Court-cum-Additional District & Sessions Judge at Vizianagaram, confirming the conviction and sentence passed in S.C.No.54 of 2010 on the file of Assistant Sessions Judge, Vizianagaram, whereby and whereunder A-1 & A-2 were convicted under Section 235(2) Cr.P.C., for the offence punishable under Section 489(B) IPC, and sentenced to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for a period of seven years, vide judgment dated 10.01.2011. Heard. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners/A- 1 & A-2 has not pressed the main prayer and confined his arguments to the extent of reduction of sentence and requested the Court to show some indulgence in favour of the petitioners. In view of the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners and also considering the fact that the trial Court as well as the appellate Court gave concurrent findings against the petitioners/A- 1 & A-2 for the offence punishable under Section 489(B) IPC, this Court is of the view that the merits of the prosecution case and the impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. Admittedly, the offence took place in the year 2009 and, for all these years, A-1 & A-2 might have suffered humiliation by attending the Courts in connection with this case and lost valuable part of their life and might have also incurred lot of expenditure correspondingly. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some mercy upon the petitioners/A-1 & A-2. Accordingly, the conviction imposed on the petitioners-accused by the learned Assistant Sessions Judge, Vizianagaram, in S.C.No.54 of 2010 and as confirmed by the learned Judge, Family Court-cum- Additional District & Sessions Judge, Vizianagaram, in Criminal Appeal No.4 of 2011, is hereby confirmed. However, the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the petitioners for the offence under Section 489(B) IPC is reduced to that of the period already undergone by the petitioners in prison. Petitioners shall be released forthwith, if they are not required in any other case. Remaining portion of the impugned judgment shall stand unaltered. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is allowed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 18.08.2011 v v
