According to the petitioner, the petitioner was not
aware of the consequence of his pleading guilty and
there was no proper legal advice to him. It is also
submitted that the learned Magistrate has not
complied the mandatory instruction under Section
251 and 252 of Cr.PC while recording the plea.
Aggrieved by the conviction and sentence, the
petitioner filed an appeal before the Sessions Court,
Kollam. The Additional District and Sessions Judge-VI,
Kollam considered the appeal. The Sessions Judge,
without going to the merit of the case, dismissed the
appeal mainly on the reason that no appeal is
maintainable against such order because of the bar
under Section 375 Cr.PC. Hence, this Revision
Petition is filed.
