BHIMAPPA DUNDAPPA KATTI vs STATE OF KARNATAKA — R.P.(Crl.) No. 758/2001

Case Summary: R.P.(Crl.) No. 758/2001 Outcome: The Supreme Court granted the review petition and corrected an inadvertent omission in its February 14, 2001 order. Bhimappa Dundappa Katti, who was the 8th appellant in Criminal Appeal No. 537/1992 but inadvertently excluded from the relief granted, was sentenced to pay a fine of Rs. 20,000 with 15 months rigorous imprisonment as default punishment if fine not deposited within 8 weeks. Key Issue: The petitioner's name was omitted from the original order disposing of his criminal appeal, likely due to his name appearing on a subsequent page of the memo. The Court corrected this administrative error and amended the February 14, 2001 order to include him among the nine convicted appellants receiving reduced sentences. Next Steps: Petitioner directed to deposit fine at trial court within 8 weeks; petition disposed with orders to correct the original judgment order.
