THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.634 OF 2004 JUDGMENT: The petitioner herein, who was examined as P.W-1, filed this Revision against the judgment, dated 10.02.2004, passed by the V Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad in C.C.No.557 of 2001. On the basis of the report given by P.W-1, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Banjara Hills Police Station, Hyderabad registered a case against the accused-respondents 2 to 6 herein for the offences punishable under Sections 468, 471, 506, 420 read with 120-B IPC and the same was taken on file as C.C.No.557 of 2001. During the course of trial, on behalf of the prosecution, P.Ws.1 to 5 were examined and Exs.P-1 to P-14 were marked. On behalf of the defence, no oral or documentary evidence was adduced. The learned Metropolitan Magistrate having analysed the entire evidence, vide his judgment, dated 10.02.2004, found the accused not guilty of the said offences and accordingly acquitted them of the said offences. Heard learned counsel appearing on either side. The State which filed the said C.C. before the Court below has not chosen to challenge the order of acquittal of the accused passed by the Court below and hence, the petitioner, who was examined as P.W- 1 filed this Revision invoking the jurisdiction of the Court under Sections 397 and 401 Cr.P.C. Against the order of acquittal passed by the Court below, an appeal, as provided for under Section 378 (4) Cr.P.C., is maintainable, but not the Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 Cr.P.C. Further, it should be remembered that as this is a Revision against the order of acquittal of the accused, the scope of the Revision is very much restricted. Even if this Court ultimately holds that respondents 2 to 6 herein are guilty of the offences with which they are charged, this Court can only remand the matter to the Court below for fresh disposal, but cannot convert the said finding of acquittal into conviction. In those circumstances, I see no merits in this Criminal Revision Case and the same is accordingly dismissed. ______________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 10-3-2011 rkk
