Inspite of the matter is being listed under the caption 8for dismissal9, none appears on behalf of the Petitioner. 2. The instant criminal revision case, under Sections 397 and 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, has been filed against the judgment dated 15.05.2017, passed by the IV Additional District & Sessions Judge, Nellore, in Crl.A.No.299 of 2014, whereby the learned Sessions Judge confirmed the judgment dt.19.12.2014 passed by the V Additional Junior Civil Judge, Nellore in C.C.No.644 of 2013 for the offence punishable under Section 325 IPC against A1 and for the offence punishable under Section 323 IPC against A2 and petitioner No.1/A1 was convicted and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year and to pay a fine of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand Only) and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of three months for the offence under Section 325 IPC, and petitioner No.2/A2 was convicted and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months and to pay a fine of Rs.2,000/- (Rupees Two Thousand Only) and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of two months for the offence under Section 323 IPC. -4- Crl.R.C. No.1360 of 2017 3. I have perused the order passed by the learned trial court. 4. On careful observation of the findings, it appears that learned trial Court has convicted and sentenced petitioner No.1/A1 to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year and to pay a fine of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand Only) and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of three months for the offence under Section 325 IPC and convicted and sentenced petitioner No.2/A2 to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months and to pay a fine of Rs.2,000/- (Rupees Two Thousand Only) and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of two months for the offence under Section 323 IPC by fixing several points for determination. The order of conviction and sentence has also mentioned the evidentiary value of the witnesses in detail and the documents placed by the parties has also been scanned. 5. On a careful perusal of the observation of the learned trial court, it appears that the trial court has specifically decided the grounds of petition as mentioned by the petitioners, he has also decided on the point for determination. I find no illegality and impropriety in the order itself. 6. Considering the same, I find no justification to interfere with the order of conviction and sentence passed by the learned trial court. -5- Crl.R.C. No.1360 of 2017 7. Under the above observation, the instant criminal revision case is dismissed as devoid of merit. The order of suspension of sentence passed by this Court during pendency of the instant criminal revision case is hereby revoked. Since the petitioners are not present before this Court, let a copy of this order be served upon the learned trial Court for ready reference. 8. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ JUSTICE SUBHENDU SAMANTA Date:10.04.2026 Pmk -6- Crl.R.C.
