Smt. Musthari Banu v. Shri.Syed Azmath
Case brief
What is this about?
Musthari Banu v. Syed Azmath, CRL.RP No. 1491 of 2025 (High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru, decided 10.10.2025 by Justice Ravi V Hosmani; NC: 2025:KHC:40112). Revision petition under S. 397 r/w 401 Cr.P.C. challenging the acquittal in CRL.A No.1233/2023 dated 02.08.2025 (LXIX Addl. City Civil & Sessions Judge, CCH-70), which had reversed the conviction under the judgment dated 04.08.2023 in CC No.1886/2020 (XV Addl. C.M.M., Bengaluru). Dismissed as withdrawn at the final hearing on counsel's memo, with liberty to file a criminal appeal; certified copies of the impugned order ordered to be returned. Of procedural value only - no merits adjudicated; potentially citable on the practice of withdrawing a revision petition with liberty to prefer an appeal.
What did the court decide?
Withdrawal of the revision petition permitted with liberty to file a criminal appeal; Registry to return certified copies of the impugned order forthwith after replacing them with photostat copies.
