Heard both sides.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.      Respondents 2 to 7 along with 4th accused (he was not<\/p>\n<p>available for trial) were charge-sheeted by Circle Inspector of Police<\/p>\n<p>Pathanamthitta in Crime No.97 of 1996 for offences punishable under<\/p>\n<p>Sections 143, 147, 148, 427, 447 and 506(2) read with 149 of the<\/p>\n<p>Indian Penal Code (for short, &#8220;the Code&#8221;) on the allegation that on<\/p>\n<p>26.11.1996 at about 11.15 p.m. they formed an unlawful assembly,<\/p>\n<p>committed rioting armed with deadly weapons and in prosecution of<\/p>\n<p>the common object           trespassed into the property of P.W.1 in<\/p>\n<p>Sy.No.344\/7-1 of Elathoor Village, committed mischief by cutting down<\/p>\n<p>a few cashew-nut trees, jack-fruit tree and other crops and criminally<\/p>\n<p>intimidated P.Ws.1 and 2, de facto complainant and her husband.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecution examined P.Ws.1 to 5 and proved Exhibit P1. Of them,<\/p>\n<p>CRL. R.P. No.114 of 2001<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>witnesses to the alleged incident are P.Ws.1, 2 and 4. Investigating<\/p>\n<p>officer was not examined.            Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>disbelieved P.W.4, held that evidence of P.Ws.1 and 2 is not sufficient<\/p>\n<p>to find respondents 2 to 7 guilty and acquitted them. It is contended<\/p>\n<p>by learned counsel for revision petitioner that court below has not<\/p>\n<p>properly appreciated the evidence of P.Ws.1, 2 and 4. Counsel for<\/p>\n<p>respondents 2 to 7 supported the impugned judgment.<\/p>\n<p>      4.     So far as    incident proper is concerned, though P.W.3<\/p>\n<p>stated that she owns property adjacent to the property of P.Ws.1 and<\/p>\n<p>2 and that in her property also there was trespass and commission of<\/p>\n<p>waste allegedly for cutting open a new way, she admitted that she<\/p>\n<p>had not witnessed the incident. What remains is evidence of P.Ws.1,<\/p>\n<p>2 and 4. So far as P.W.4 is concerned, it has come out in evidence that<\/p>\n<p>he had contested the election to the Panchayat against the second<\/p>\n<p>accused and failed.      According to respondents 2 to 7, P.W.4 was<\/p>\n<p>enimcal to them on that count and gave false evidence. Whatever<\/p>\n<p>that be, it is the version of P.W.4 that he had been to the house of his<\/p>\n<p>brother, Ponnan situated near place of occurrence, was in that house<\/p>\n<p>at the relevant      time and    witnessed the incident.     But for his<\/p>\n<p>presence at the house of Ponnan, P.W.4 could not have witnessed the<\/p>\n<p>CRL. R.P. No.114 of 2001<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>incident. But P.W.4 had not stated so to the Investigating officer at the<\/p>\n<p>time of investigation.    It is in the above circumstance that learned<\/p>\n<p>Chief Judicial Magistrate thought it not safe to place reliance on the<\/p>\n<p>evidence of P.W.4. So far as P.Ws.1 and 2 are concerned, it is true<\/p>\n<p>that they gave evidence in support of the prosecution. According to<\/p>\n<p>them    there were other persons also apart from respondents 2 to 7<\/p>\n<p>and 4th accused, but P.Ws.1 and 2 were not able to identify them.<\/p>\n<p>According to P.Ws.1 and 2, they identified the culprits in the light of<\/p>\n<p>torch carried by P.W.2 and burning petrolmax used by the culprits. It<\/p>\n<p>has come out in evidence that        neither P.W.1 nor P.W.2    told the<\/p>\n<p>Investigating Officer in the course of investigation that they witnessed<\/p>\n<p>the incident in the light of torch or        petrolmax. Learned Chief<\/p>\n<p>Judicial Magistrate found that omission to be material.    Learned Chief<\/p>\n<p>Judicial Magistrate has also referred to the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 2<\/p>\n<p>extensively, found material contradictions in their evidence and held<\/p>\n<p>that their evidence is not reliable.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.    So far as the exercise of revisional jurisdiction against a<\/p>\n<p>judgment of acquittal is concerned,       binding authorities  say that<\/p>\n<p>revisional court cannot interfere with a judgment of acquittal merely<\/p>\n<p>for the reason that a different view is possible. Interference with<\/p>\n<p>CRL. R.P. No.114 of 2001<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>acquittal is called for only when the           decision of the trial court<\/p>\n<p>involved     glaring   injustice due to violation of any fundamental<\/p>\n<p>principles of law, defect of procedure or error of law had resulted in<\/p>\n<p>gross miscarriage of justice or when the judgment is palpably wrong<\/p>\n<p>or perverse and the reasonings are unsustainable. Though revisional<\/p>\n<p>court is entitled to re-appreciate the evidence for the limited purpose<\/p>\n<p>of satisfying itself regarding illegality, irregularity or impropriety of the<\/p>\n<p>judgment under challenge, it cannot sit in judgment over the findings<\/p>\n<p>of the trial court as if in an appeal. Revisional court must also bear in<\/p>\n<p>mind that the presumption of innocence against the accused stands<\/p>\n<p>reinforced by their acquittal by the trial court. On going through the<\/p>\n<p>judgment under challenge, I am not persuaded to think that findings of<\/p>\n<p>the learned Chief Judicial     Magistrate are palpably wrong requiring<\/p>\n<p>interference. As such request for interference cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>      Revision petition fails. It is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                THOMAS P.JOSEPH, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nvsv<\/p>\n<p>CRL. R.P.
