Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has falsely been implicated in the matter.

Counsel also submits that complainant- father and brother of the deceased have turned hostile. Counsel
[2025:RJ-JP:41731-DB] (2 of 2) [SOSA-1899/2025] further submits that sentence of co-accused, namely, Kapil has already been suspended by the Court. Counsel further submits that hearing of the appeal may take longtime, hence, the sentence awarded to the applicant may be suspended during the pendency of the appeal. 4. Learned Addl. Govt. Advocate has opposed the second application for suspension of sentence. 5. Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and considering that complainant-father and brother of the deceased have turned hostile; that sentence of the co-accused has already been suspended by the Court; that applicant was on bail during trial; looking to the custody period and also considering that hearing of appeal may take long time, we deem it just and proper to allow this application for suspension of sentence. 7. In that view of the matter, this criminal misc.
second suspension of sentence application is allowed and it is ordered that execution of sentence awarded to the applicant-Jitendra @ Jeetu S/o Ran Singh, shall remain suspended during the pendency of the appeal and the appellant be admitted to bail subject to satisfaction of the trial court with the stipulation that he shall appear before this Court on 17.11.2025 and thereafter as and when called upon to do so. 8.
