                          O R D E R

This revision is preferred against the judgment of the

Additional Sessions Judge, Thrissur in Crl.A.320/04 by which

the learned Sessions Judge had dismissed the appeal. In

S.T.4285/01 the revision petitioner was sentenced to

undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one month and

to pay a compensation of Rs.1.15 lakhs to the complainant

and in default to undergo a further imprisonment for three

months. By virtue of my order in Crl.M.Appln.11753/08 the

matter has been compounded and it is recorded. Therefore it

has become necessary to set aside the conviction and

sentence passed by the trial court and affirmed by the

appellate court. Since it is compounded by virtue of the

provisions u/s 320(8)Cr.P.C. compounding of the offence

shall have the effect of an acquittal of the accused.

The Criminal Revision is disposed of accordingly.

M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE.
