THIS CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON

CRL.REV.PET NO. 333 OF 2004

ORDER
This revision petition was filed by the defacto complainant
in Crime No.69/2000 registered by the Sub Inspector of Police,
Aranmula. The offences alleged against the accused are under
Sections 323, 324 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The trial
court acquitted the accused on finding that accused are not
guilty of the offences alleged. There are case and counter case.
The incident alleged to by the accused was first registered on
23.02.2000 at 5.00 p.m as Crime No.68/2000. Thereafter, the
defacto complainant reported the crime and police registered
the case. The trial court found that there was no evidence to
show that who are the aggressor and considering all these
aspects, the accused were given benefit of doubt with regard to
the offences alleged against them. Both cases resulted in
acquittal. It was not discernible from the evidence adduced by
the trial court who was the aggressor. The case and counter
case would establish that there is nothing on record to show that CRL.REV.PET NO. 333 OF 2004
who was the aggressor.
In such circumstances, I find no reason to interfere with the
impugned order. Revision stands dismissed.
