HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.415 OF 2005 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 of Cr.P.C is filed by the petitioner-accused against the judgment, dated 04.03.2005, rendered in Criminal Appeal No.25 of 2003 by the II Addl. Sessions Judge, Rajahmundry. The petitioner-accused was prosecuted in C.C.No.243 of 1999 for the offences punishable under Sections 304-A, 338 and 337 of IPC wherein after due trial, the learned Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ramachandrapuram, convicted the petitioner-accused under Section 255(2) Cr.P.C. and sentenced him to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one year and also to pay a fine of Rs.500/-, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for one month, while acquitting him of the offences punishable under Sections 338 and 337 IPC. As against the said conviction, the petitioner preferred Criminal Appeal No.25 of 2003 on the file of the II Addl. Sessions Judge, Rajahmundry and the learned Sessions Judge upheld the conviction imposed by the learned Magistrate, but however, reduced the sentence of imprisonment from one year to six months and enhanced the fine amount from Rs.500/- to Rs.2,000/-, by judgment dated 04.03.2005. Challenging the same, the present revision is filed. Heard. After arguing for sometime, the learned counsel for the petitioner by not pressing the main prayer confined his arguments 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 offence took place in the year 1999 and for all these years the petitioner suffered humiliation. It is represented that the petitioner is the sole breadwinner of his family and has to look after the welfare his family members. In these circumstances, this Court is inclined to show some lenience against the petitioner. Accordingly, the conviction imposed by the trial Court as confirmed by the Appellate Court is hereby confirmed and the sentence of imprisonment is modified to that of the period already undergone by the petitioner. The fine amount of Rs.2,000/-, which was enhanced by the Appellate Court, is further enhanced to Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five thousand only), and the said amount is directed to be paid as compensation to the wife of the deceased within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In all other respects, the impugned judgment stands confirmed. With above modification, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 7th October, 2010 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.415 OF 2005 DATE: 07.10.2010 Between : Ayinam Ravi ..Petitioner/Accused and State of A.P. ..Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.415 OF 2005 7th October, 2010 cbs
