The petitioner, Komma Srinatha Reddy, filed a Criminal Revision Case before the Andhra Pradesh High Court challenging the confirmation of his conviction under Section 326 IPC (causing grievous hurt) and the sentence of three years' rigorous imprisonment imposed by the VI Additional District and Sessions Judge, Kadapa. The petitioner argued that since he was already serving a life sentence under Section 302 IPC (murder) imposed on 12.04.2016, the subsequent sentence of three years under Section 326 IPC imposed on 14.10.2016 must run concurrently by operation of Section 427(2) of the CrPC, which mandates that any sentence imposed on a person already undergoing life imprisonment shall run concurrently with the life sentence. The court examined Section 427(2) CrPC (now reflected in Section 468(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023) and leading Supreme Court precedents including Ranjit Singh v. Union Territory of Chandigarh, Muthuramalingam v. State, and Mohd. Zahid v. State through NCB, which collectively affirm that Section 427(2) is mandatory and that a subsequent fixed-term or life sentence imposed on a person already serving life imprisonment must run concurrently. The High Court, applying these principles, held that the three-year sentence under Section 326 IPC was required to run concurrently with the earlier life sentence under Section 302 IPC.
