Heard learned counsel for appellants and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the record. [2025:RJ-JP:29095] (3 of 4) [SOSA-1395/2025] 5. On basis of report (Ex.P-1) lodged by PW-1 (Murari Lal) about cruelty to a calf by unknown person, FIR No.108/2016 was registered and after identification, during investigation, police has filed charge-sheet against 4 appellants-accused. After framing the charge, the prosecution has examined 15 witnesses and exhibited 24 documents. These accused were examined under Section 313 Cr.P.C., but they have not submitted any defence evidence, ultimately the Trial Court has convicted and sentenced all these appellants-accused. 6. We have considered criminal antecedents against all accused and there is no case against Ali Mohammad except present one. Similarly, a case against Aaseen, shown as disposed of by way of compromise, and there is no detail about a case registered against Fajru Khan in year 1996. The details indicate that one of the case registered against Aasu, has been disposed of by way of compromise and another one is registered on basis of complaint about noise pollution and third one relates to another incident of year 1996. These appellants-accused were on bail during trial and disposal of appeal will take its own time. It is not possible for us to express any opinion on the merits of the case, but having considered the totality of facts and circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to allow SOS application of all these 4 appellants- accused. 7. In view of discussion made hereinabove, the suspension of sentence application is hereby allowed and it is ordered that sentence of applicants-accused Aaseen Khan S/o Fajru Khan, Aasu Khan S/o Fajru Khan, Fajru Khan S/o Chote Khan and Ali Mohammad S/o Fajru Khan is suspended till disposal of [2025:RJ-JP:29095] (4 of 4) [SOSA-1395/2025] appeal with the condition that each of them would execute a personal bond in the sum of ₹50,000/- with two sureties of ₹25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge for their appearance in this Court on 24.11.2025 and whenever ordered to do so till the disposal of the appeal on the conditions indicated below:- 1.
