judgment of conviction & sentence passed by the Courts below, is totally based upon surmises and conjectures and the revision petition is likely to take long time to conclude. Hence, the sentence awarded to the applicant may be suspended during the pendency of the revision petition.

Looking to the term of sentence, without commenting upon the merits of the case and considering the submissions made at bar, this Court deems it just and proper to suspend the sentence awarded to the petitioner. Accordingly, this application for suspension of sentence, is allowed and it is hereby ordered that the execution of sentence awarded to the petitioner, namely Ramesh Chand S/o Omkar Lal, by the Trial Court vide judgment dated 16.12.2016 passed by learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ramganjmandi,
