THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL APPEAL No.273 OF 2008 DATED 28th DECEMBER, 2010. BETWEEN : The State of A.P. .. Appellant and Kalisetti Dharma Rao ..Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL APPEAL No.273 OF 2008 JUDGMENT: Present appeal preferred by the State is arising out of acquittal of accused in C.C.No.300 of 2001 by the I Additional Munsif Magistrate, Narsaraopet, by judgment dated 12.11.2002 for the offence under Sections 51 read with 63 and 52-A (i) read with 68-A of Copy Right Act. Heard. The learned trial Judge after evaluating the entire evidence on record, acquitted the accused more particularly on the ground that all the mediators turned hostile and not supported the prosecution case. In a case of this nature, the evidence of mediators plays vital role. In this case, the recovery itself is not proved by the prosecution through the evidence of mediators. In such circumstances, the learned trial Judge has rightly acquitted the accused. In a case of acquittal, the scope of this Court is very limited and if there is any perversity or illegality appears on the face of the record, then only this Court can interfere with the finding of the lower Court. It is well settled that in a case of acquittal, the Appellate Court can interfere only when there is possibility of one view, which is pointing towards the guilt of the accused. When there is possibility of two views and one view, which is in favour of the accused, is taken into account and the accused is acquitted by the competent Court, there is no need to interfere with the order passed by the trial Court. Considering the above said proposition of law and after perusal of the record and the impugned judgment, this Court is of the view that there is no need to interfere with the order of acquittal passed by the learned trial Judge. Hence, the Criminal Appeal is dismissed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 28.12.2010 sur
