     THIS CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
24.04.2023, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 CRL.REV.PET NO. 333 OF 2004

                                2



                              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.
