1. Accused-applicants have preferred these applications for suspension of sentence. 2. Heard on applications for suspension of sentence. 3. It is contended by learned counsel for the accused-applicants that the conviction is based on the identification by the accused- applicants themselves. It is also contended that no CCTV footage from the place of occurrence was recovered. The CCTV footage is of a road where two motorcycles are seen and one person is running away with a motorcycle. It is further contended that there is no independent witness to identify the accused-applicants. There is no last seen evidence.
It is further contended that
[2025:RJ-JP:2490-DB] (3 of 4) [SOSA-1506/2024] accused/applicant-Vineet Singh is not even seen in the CCTV footage. It is also contended that there is no established evidence that the bullet was fired from the firearm recovered from accused/applicant-Gautam Singh. 4. Learned Additional Govt. Advocate as well as the learned counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the present applications for suspension of sentence. It is contended that on the day of the incident, in Naka Bandi Gautam Singh, Chetan, Pawan Yadav & Abhay Singh were rounded up by the police and from them more than Rs.2,46,000/- was recovered. It is further contended that accused/applicant-Gautam Singh was the one who has fired and from him the Katta was also recovered and there are as many as seven pending cases against accused/applicant- Gautam Singh. It is also contended that against accused/applicant-Shaitan Singh there is one more case, except the present one. It is also contended that from the FSL report, it is established that the fire arm which was recovered from accused/applicant-Gautam Singh was used for committing the offence. 5. We have considered the contentions. 6. From perusal of the record, it is evident that accused/applicant-Gautam Singhwas arrested on the day of the incident with cash and firearm was also recovered from him which is matching with the bullet recovered from the dead body. It is also evident that in the CCTV footage also all the accused- applicants except Vineet Singh were seen. As far as accused/applicant-Vineet Singh is concerned, he was in constant
[2025:RJ-JP:2490-DB] (4 of 4) [SOSA-1506/2024] touch with Gautam Singh the main accused and was the one who informed about the deceased who had come to deposit the amount. The case pertains to dacoity with murder, hence, we are not inclined to entertain these applications for suspension of sentence. 7. Criminal Misc. Suspension of Sentence Applications are accordingly, dismissed. (SHUBHA MEHTA),J (PANKAJ BHANDARI),J LAKSHYA-DAKSH/84, 89-90
