Counsel submits that [2025:RJ-JP:33821-DB] (2 of 3) [SOSA-160/2025] the accused-applicant has falsely been involved in this case. Counsel further submits that accused-applicant was not on bail during trial. He also submits that sentence of co-accused persons namely Sitaram and Kaluram has already been suspended by this Court. It is a case of motor accident and according to statement of PW-20, the complainant party had obstructed the way of accused- applicant and in an attempt to save his life, the accused-applicant in a state of panic, drove the vehicle in a hurried manner, as a result of which, the accident occurred. He also submits that hearing of the appeal may take a long time. Therefore, he prayed that sentence awarded to the accused-applicant may be suspended and the accused-applicant be released on bail during the pendency of the appeal. 5. Learned Deputy Government Advocate opposed the present application for suspension of sentence. 6. We have heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the present case; the statement of PW-20-Investigation Officer and also considering that sentence of co-accused persons has already been suspended by this Court and the appeal is not likely to be heard in near future, we deem it just and proper to allow this criminal miscellaneous suspension of sentence application. 8. In that view of the matter, this criminal suspension of sentence application is allowed and it is ordered that execution of sentence awarded to the accused-applicant shall remain suspended during the pendency of the criminal appeal and the accused-applicant be admitted to bail subject to satisfaction of the [2025:RJ-JP:33821-DB] (3 of 3) [SOSA-160/2025] trial Court with the stipulation that the accused-applicant shall appear before this Court on 07.10.2025 and thereafter as and when called upon to do so. 9.
