THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.484 OF 2005 DATED 25th APRIL, 2011. BETWEEN : Kota Amarnath … Revision Petitioner-A.1 and The State of A.P. … Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.484 OF 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the revision petitioner- A.1 challenging the common judgment dated 07.02.2005 rendered in Criminal Appeal No.33 of 2004 & batch by the learned IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Visakhapatnam. Initially, the petitioner-A.1 and other accused i.e. A.2 and A.3 were prosecuted in C.C.No.531 of 2001 by the learned II Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam, wherein by judgment dated 10.02.2004 A.1 was found guilty for the offence punishable under Sections 468, 471 and 419 of Indian Penal Code and A.2 and A.3 were found guilty for the offence punishable under Sections 471 and 419 IPC and the present revision petitioner was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year and to pay fine of Rs.1000/- for the offence under Section 468 IPC and also to undergo simple imprisonment for one year for the offence punishable under Sections 471 and 419 IPC under each count and the trial Court also imposed different sentences against A.2 and A.3. Aggrieved over the same, petitioner herein preferred Criminal Appeal No.33 of 2004. In appeal, the learned Sessions Judge 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. Admittedly, the occurrence took place in the year 2000 and for all these years the petitioner suffered humiliation and also stigma in the society. Further, it is represented that the petitioner is the sole breadwinner of his family and has to look after the welfare of his family members. In these circumstances, 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 shall stand unchanged. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 25.04.2011 sur
