THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE JUVVADI SRIDEVI INTERLOCUTORY APPLICATION No.1 of 2025 IN/AND CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.545 of 2025

COMMON ORDER:

This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the petitioner-

complainant seeking to set aside the impugned order dated 11.08.2023 passed in CRL.M.P.No.734 of 2022 in S.R.No.3374 of 2022 in Crime No.111 of 2022 by the learned I Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Hanumakonda, along with the Interlocutory Application No.1 of 2025 seeking to condone the delay of 327 days in filing the main Criminal Revision Case.

02. When the matter was taken up for hearing, learned counsel appearing for the unofficial respondents brought to the notice of this Court that the very same petitioner had earlier filed Criminal Revision Case No.70 of 2024 before this Court, arising out of the same cause of action, and the said revision was dismissed by this Court by order dated 24.10.2024. It is further submitted that concealing the said fact, the present Criminal Revision Case has been filed, which in effect amounts to a second revision.

03. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded to the above factual position and admitted that the earlier revision was indeed dismissed by this Court.

04. It is a settled principle of law that filing of a second revision against the same cause of action is impermissible in view of the bar contained under Section 397(3) Cr.P.C. Once a revision has already been considered and dismissed by this Court, the petitioner cannot be permitted to re-agitate the very same issue by filing another revision petition under the guise of challenging the same order or proceedings.

05. In view of the above and upon recording the submissions of the learned counsel on either side, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present Criminal Revision Case, as well as the Interlocutory Application filed seeking condonation of delay in its filing, are not maintainable and are liable to be dismissed.

06. Accordingly, the Interlocutory Application and Criminal Revision Case are dismissed as not maintainable.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
