HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1072 OF 2005 JUDGMENT: This Criminal Revision Case is preferred by the petitioner- accused against the judgment, dated 09.05.2005, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.58 of 2000 by the I Addl. Sessions Judge, at Mahaboobnagar. 2. The petitioner-accused was prosecuted in C.C.No.32 of 1999 for the offence punishable under Section 4(ii) of the Protection of Civil Rights Act. After due trial, the learned II Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Eluru, convicted the petitioner under Section 255 (2) Cr.P.C. and accordingly sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months and to pay a fine of Rs.300/- in default to suffer simple imprisonment for one month, vide judgment, dated 21.02.2000. 3. As against the said conviction, the petitioner filed Criminal Appeal No.58 of 2000 on the file of the I Addl. Sessions Judge at Mahaboobnagar and the learned Sessions Judge, having gone through both the oral and documentary evidence, dismissed the appeal while confirming the conviction and sentence recorded against the petitioner by the learned Magistrate, vide judgment, dated 09.05.2005. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred this revision. 4. Heard both sides. 5. After arguing for sometime, 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. 6. In view of the said submission and also the fact that the trial Court as well as the appellate Court have given concurrent findings, this Court is of the view that merits and demerits of the prosecution case and the impugned judgment need not be adjudicated. 7. It is represented that the petitioner and the local people in the village are living happily without any ill-feelings and he has suffered some period of imprisonment. Admittedly, the offence took place in the year 1999 and for all these years the petitioner suffered humiliation. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience towards the petitioner. 8. Accordingly, the conviction recorded against the petitioner-accused by the trial Court for the offence punishable under Section 4(ii) of the Protection of Civil Rights Act as confirmed by the appellate Court is confirmed and the sentence of imprisonment is modified to that of the period already undergone by the petitioner-accused. As far as the fine amount is concerned, besides the fine of Rs.300/- imposed by the trial Court, the petitioner is directed to pay additional fine of Rs.1,000/- (Rupees One thousand only) before the trial Court within two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for one month. 9. In all other respects, the impugned judgment shall stand confirmed. 10. With the above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 21st January, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1072 OF 2005 DATE: 21.01.2011 Between : Eedigi Lingaiah … Petitioner/ Accused and State of A.P. … Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1072 of 2005 (Disposed of) 21st January, 2011 cbs
