THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1724 OF 2005 DATED 30th APRIL, 2011. BETWEEN : N.Krishna Reddy @ Kishanppa … Revision Petitioner- Accused and The State of A.P. … Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1724 OF 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the revision petitioner- accused challenging the judgment dated 07.10.2005 rendered in Criminal Appeal No.44 of 2005 by the learned II Additional District & Sessions Judge, Chottoor at Madanapalle. Initially, the petitioner-accused was prosecuted in C.C.No.157 of 2003 by the learned Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Punganur, wherein by judgment dated 08.02.2005 he was found guilty for the offence punishable under Section 498A of Indian Penal Code, convicted under Section 248 (2) Cr.P.C. and sentenced to suffer simple imprisonment for one year and to pay fine of Rs.500/- in default to suffer simple imprisonment for one month. Aggrieved over the said conviction and sentence, petitioner preferred an appeal. The learned Sessions Judge while dismissing the appeal confirmed the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court. 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. Considering the submission of the learned counsel that after the present conviction, another dispute between the parties in O.P.No.10 of 2009 was settled before the Lok Adalat on 22.08.2009 and also considering the fact that the present case is pertaining to the year 2003 and since then petitioner is suffering humiliation and also stigma in the society, this Court is inclined to show some lenience towards the petitioner in imposition of sentence. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court and as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed. However, 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 : 30.04.2011 sur
