ORDER
This revision petition has been filed challenging the judgment of the Additional Sessions Court-III, Alappuzha in Crl.A.No.138/2020. As per the judgment, the petitioners herein who are the accused Nos. 1 and 2 were convicted. It is submitted that now the matter has been posted to 30.5.2022 for hearing on sentence. The petitioners are directed to appear at the court below.
2. What is challenged before me is only the judgment of conviction. This Court entertains doubt as to whether the revision itself is maintainable, before the sentence is passed. The learned counsel seeks time to argue on that point. In these circumstances, the appearance of the petitioners at the court below is dispensed with for a week.
Post on 1.6.2022.
