The revision petitioner who was the accused in C.C. No. 271
of 2007 on the file of the J.F.C.M. II, Perambra for offences
punishable under Sections 323 and 324 I.P.C. was convicted by
the trial court for both the offences. On appeal by him before
the Sessions Court as Crl.Appeal No. 860/2008 the Addl.
Sessions Court (Adhoc-II), Kozhikode as per judgment dated 11-
11-2009 acquitted the petitioner of the offence punishable
under Sec. 324 I.P.C. but confirmed his conviction under Section
323 I.P.C. and he was directed to be released after due
admonition under Sec. 3 of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958.
It is aggrieved by the said order passed by the lower appellate
court that the revision petitioner has approached this Court.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the revision petitioner
and the Public Prosecutor.
3. No sentence has been awarded to the revision
petitioner for his conviction under Section 323 I.P.C. Section
Crl.R.P. NO. 245 of 2010 -:2:-
12 of the Probation of Offenders Act specifically enacts that the
stigma of conviction will not be there in the case of a person
who has been released after admonition under Section 3 of the
Probation of Offenders Act. Such being the position, the
petitioner who is employed as a Senior Assistant in the K.S.E.B.
need not have any apprehension of any disqualification arising
out of the conviction recorded in this case. Clarifying this
position, this Revision is disposed of.
Dated this the 19th day of January, 2010.
