Case brief

What is this about?

Settlement-driven disposal of a criminal revision (CRLRC No.2565 of 2012) before the High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati (T. Mallikarjuna Rao, J.), decided 24.09.2025. Complainant-petitioner G. Srinivasa Reddy had challenged the appellate order dated 03.10.2012 in Crl.A.No.124/2011 (XIII Addl. District and Sessions Judge, Narasaraopet) setting aside the 3-month imprisonment imposed on accused Gangineni Kondala Rao in CC No.19/2006 (judgment dt.19.04.2011, I Addl. Junior Civil Judge, Narasaraopet), seeking restoration of the sentence. On joint submission that the dispute was settled before mediators, and upon the mediator's report showing receipt of Rs.17,00,000/- by the complainant from the accused towards full and final settlement (NIFT ICICI Bank, Guntur, Lakshmipuram Branch), the Court disposed of the revision as the cause did not survive, vacated interim orders, and closed pending miscellaneous petitions (including IA No.1 of 2012 / CRLRCMP No.3769 of 2012 seeking dispensation of certified copies). Useful for: out-of-court/mediation settlement of criminal matters, disposal of revisions as infructuous, Ss.397/401 Cr.P.C.; no ruling on the merits of conviction or sentence.

What did the court decide?

Since the matter was settled before the mediators and the petitioner/complainant received Rs.17,00,000/- from the 2nd respondent/accused towards full and final settlement, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of as the cause does not survive. ¶32
