Senior Civil Judge & CJM, Mysuru, which is confirmed in Crl.A.No.158/2020 by the Court of IV Addl. District & Sessions Judge, Mysuru, vide judgment and order dated 29.06.2021. 2. Heard. 3. Perusal of the material on record would go to show that respondent no.1 herein was charge-sheeted and tried in CC.No.8071/2016 for the offences punishable under Sections 406, 420, 467, 471, 504, 506 read with 34 IPC and the Trial Court had acquitted him for the offences punishable under Sections 504, 506, 406 read with 34 IPC, and convicted him for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 467 & 471 IPC. Challenging the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed against him by the Trial Court in CC.No.8071/2016, - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:548 CRL.RP No. 1984 of 2025 respondent no.1 herein had filed Crl.A.No.30/2020 before the Court of IV Addl. District & Sessions Judge, Mysuru, whereas seeking enhancement of sentence as well as assailing the acquittal of respondent no.1 for certain offences, State had filed Crl.A.No.158/2020 before the Court of IV Addl. District & Sessions Judge, Mysuru, under Sections 377 & 378 of Cr.PC. The aforesaid two appeals were dismissed by the learned Sessions Judge by two separate judgments passed on 29.06.2021. Being not satisfied with the judgment and order passed in Crl.A.No.158/2020, petitioner who is the defacto complainant is before this Court in this revision petition. 4. It is relevant to note here that respondent no.1/accused had approached this Court in Crl.R.P.No.811/2021 assailing the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed in CC.No.8071/2016 which was confirmed in Crl.A.No.30/2020. In the said revision petition, the petitioner herein was arrayed as respondent no.2. The coordinate bench of this Court has dismissed Crl.R.P.No.811/2021 by order dated 04.06.2025 and thereby confirmed the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed by the Trial Court in CC.No.8071/2016 which was confirmed by the Appellate Court in Crl.A.No.30/2020. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:548 CRL.RP No. 1984 of 2025 Petitioner herein is a party to the said order passed in Crl.R.P.No.811/2021. It is only after dismissal of the said revision petition, the petitioner is before this Court in this criminal revision petition with a prayer to modify the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed in CC.No.8071/2016 against respondent no.1 herein. 5. Since the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed against respondent no.1 in CC.No.8071/2016 has been already confirmed by the coordinate bench of this Court in Crl.R.P.No.811/2021, in which the petitioner was respondent no.2, this revision petition filed by the petitioner seeking modification of the judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed in CC.No.8071/2016 cannot be entertained. Accordingly, the revision petition is dismissed. Consequently, the pending application also stands dismissed. Sd/- (S VISHWAJITH SHETTY) JUDGE KK
