RAVEENDRA BABU, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR , J ========================== CRL.R.P. NO. 4378 OF 2007 ========================== Dated this the 7th day of December, 2007. ORDER The petitioner was the accused in C.C. No. 504/2005 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Haripad for offences punishable under Sections 279 and 304 (A) IPC. He was convicted by the trial court and he preferred an appeal against the conviction and sentence as Crl. Appeal No. 627/2007 before the Sessions Court, Alappuzha. He also sought for a suspension of the sentence by filing C.M.P. No. 2390/2007. As per Annexure C order dated 24.11.2007, the lower appellate court was pleased to suspend the sentence, but directed that the order of suspension of driving licence would take immediate effect from the date of conviction. It is the said direction which is assailed in this revision. 2. I am not inclined to interfere with the said direction issued by the lower appellate court while suspending the sentence. The interests of justice will however be adequately met by directing the lower appellate court to dispose of the appeal expeditiously. Accordingly, this revision is disposed of directing the Additional Sessions Court-I, Mavelikara to dispose of Crl. A. No. 627/2007 as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within two months of receipt of a copy of this order. The lower appellate court shall immediately call for the lower court records so as to enable it to dispose of the appeal expeditiously. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
