HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE UMA SHANKER VYAS
Judgment / Order 28/05/2025 Heard learned counsel for the parties on the application filed for suspension of sentence and perused the entire material available on record.
Learned counsel for the accused-applicants submits that there is no reliable and legally acceptable evidence to hold the accused-applicants guilty for the alleged offence(s) and there is every likelihood of succeeding in the criminal revision.
Learned counsel further submits that accused-applicants were on bail during trial as well as during the pendency of the appeal and presently they are behind bars. Learned counsel
(2 of 2) [SOSR-199/2025 in CRLR-930/2025] further submits that final hearing of the revision is likely to take time thus sentence of the accused-applicants may be suspended. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer regarding suspension of sentence. I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties. Without commenting upon the merits/demerits of the case and considering the arguments advanced by the parties, this Court deems it just and proper to suspend the sentence awarded to the applicants. Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence is allowed and it is ordered that the sentence awarded by the learned trial Court and affirmed by the learned appellate Court against the accused-applicants namely, (1) Pawan Kumar S/o Rajendra & (2) Devendra S/o Raj Singh in Criminal Case No.23/90/2015 shall remain suspended during pendency of the petition and they shall be released on bail, provided each of them furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- along with two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before this Court on 30.06.2025 and thereafter as and when called upon to do so.
