The petitioner is accused in C.C.No.1068/2010 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court-VI, Ernakulam, for offence punishable under Sec.138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, instituted on the basis of the complaint filed by the 1st respondent (complainant). The trial court as per the impugned judgment dated 31.3.2012 had convicted the petitioner and had sentenced her to pay fine of Rs.1,50,000/-, in case of payment of which, the same was ordered to be paid as compensation to complainant under Sec. 357(1)(b) of the Cr.P.C. and in default thereof, to undergo simple imprisonment for 3 months. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner had preferred Crl.Appeal No.396/2012 before the appellate Sessions Court concerned (Court of Addl. Sessions Judge-VIII, Ernakulam). The appellate court as per the impugned appellate judgment dated 22.7.2016 had upheld the conviction and had also confirmed the sentence, thereby dismissed the appeal. It is aggrieved by the said concurrent findings of both the courts below that the petitioner has preferred the instant revision petition by taking recourse to the remedies available under Sec.397 read with Sec.401 of the Cr.P.C.
