Learned Additional Government Advocate assisted by learned counsel for the complainant has opposed the present application for suspension of sentence. 5. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the present case and also considering the statement of doctor PW-10 and the statement of eye witnesses as well as PMR report; disposal of appeal is likely to take time; without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, we deem it just and proper to allow the application for suspension of sentence. 7.
