ORDER:
1. Inspite of the matter is being listed under the caption ‘for dismissal’, 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 26.09.2016, passed by the I Additional Sessions Judge, Guntur, in Crl.A.No.223 of 2015, whereby the learned Sessions Judge modified the judgment dt.30.04.2015 passed by learned Special Judicial First Class Magistrate for Prohibition & Excise, Guntur, in C.C. No.372 of 2013 for the offence under Sections 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and convicted and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay fine of Rs.7,00,000/- and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for one month.
3. I have perused the order passed by the learned trial court.
4. On careful observation of the findings, it appears that learned Sessions Judge has modified the conviction and sentence and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay fine of Rs.7,00,000/- and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for one month for the offence under Sections 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act 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 trail court, it appears that the trial court has specifically decided the grounds of the revision case as mentioned by the petitioner, 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.
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 petitioner is 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
