Rajesh Chandrabhan Satdive ..APPLICANTS VERSUS State of Maharashtra ..RESPONDENT .... Mr. M.L. Wankhade, Advocate for applicants Ms. V.S. Chaudhari, A.P.P. for the respondent - State .... CORAM : ABHAY J. MANTRI, J. DATE : 15th OCTOBER, 2025 PER COURT : 1. The applicants / accused nos. 1 and 2 have filed this application to suspend the substantive sentence of imprisonment imposed by learned Sessions Judge, Aurangabad vide judgment and order dated 04th August, 2025 in Sessions Case No. 36 of 2013, whereby they were convicted for the offence punishable under Sections 324 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three months and to pay fine of Rs.6,000/- each, and release them on bail. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.P.P. for the State. Perused the impugned judgment and the record. 1 / 2 2025:BHC-AUG:29284 905-APPLN-3910-25.odt 3. At the outset, it appears that during the trial, the applicants were on bail, and after passing the conviction order, the learned Sessions Court released them on bail. The applicants have deposited the fine amount with the learned Sessions Court. It also appears that they were sentenced for a period of three months, which is a short-term sentence. The applicants have preferred the appeal challenging the said order, and it will take time to finally decide it. 4. Having considered the above facts, in my view, it would be appropriate to suspend the sentence awarded by the impugned judgment and order and release them on bail. 5. As a result, the substantive sentence of imprisonment awarded by the learned Sessions Judge, Aurangabad vide judgment and order dated 04th August, 2025 in Sessions Case No. 36 of 2013, is hereby suspended till disposal of the appeal. The applicants be released on bail on furnishing P.B. and S.B. of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) each, till the disposal of the appeal, on their furnishing bail bonds before the Sessions Court within three weeks from today. Criminal application stands disposed of. ( ABHAY J. MANTRI, J. ) SSD 2 / 2
