VERSUS
GUNISETTY VENKATASWAMY Respondents

JUDGEMENT

Horwill, J - (1.)Mr. Ch. Sambaiya who sigaed the judgment and the proceedings of November 10, 1937, seems not to have been present at the hearing of the other witness on October 23, 1937.
(2.)A conviction is illegal if the Magistrates who signed the judgment did not hear all evidence.
(3.)The conviction has, therefore, to be set aside. In view of the petty nature of the offence and the weak complainant to the property, a re-trial is not necessary.
