THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO.1195 OF 2001 ORDER: 1 On the basis of a report given by the petitioner herein, the Sub Inspector of Police, Law & Order P.S. Krishnalanka, Vijayawada registered a case in Cr.No.116 of 1994 for the offences punishable under sections 363, 342, 323, 506 r/w 120-B of IPC. After investigation the police filed charge sheet and the same was taken on file by the learned IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Vijayawada as C.C.No.166 of 1997. As the prosecution witnesses i.e. P.Ws.1 to 4 did not support the case of the prosecution they were declared hostile and as there was no incriminating evidence against the accused, the learned Magistrate acquitted the accused therein vide his judgment dated 09.07.2001. As the State has not chosen to file any appeal against the said acquittal, the de facto complainant i.e. L.W.2 filed the present revision. 2 Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and having gone through the judgment impugned in this revision, this court is of the view that the trial court is justified in acquitting the accused since there is not at all any incriminating evidence against the accused therein. All the material witnesses to the prosecution have turned hostile and they did not support the case of the prosecution. 3 Further, it is to be noticed that the trial court pronounced the said judgment on 09.07.2001 i.e. exactly nine years back. Taking the facts and circumstances of the case into consideration and also in view of the fact that this is a revision preferred against an order of acquittal under sections 397 and 401 of Cr.P.C., where under the jurisdiction of this court is very limited, this court is of the view that it is not desirable to entertain the present revision at this length of time and accordingly the same is dismissed. --------------- 08.07.2010 Kvsn
