1. This suspension of sentence application has been filed by the accused-applicant along with the appeal.
2.
Learned counsel for the accused-applicant submits that the accused-applicant has been convicted for the offences under Sections 365 & 302 read with Section 120B of IPC.
3.
Learned counsel for the accused-applicant has annexed the certificate under Rule 311 (3) of the Rajasthan High Court Rules to the effect that the accused-applicant is a lady and she was on bail during trial and presently, she is confined in judicial custody. He further submits that the accused-applicant has been falsely implicated in this matter and the sentence of life imprisonment
[2025:RJ-JP:36655-DB] (2 of 3) [SOSA-211/2025] has been awarded to the accused-applicant for the offence under Section 302 read with Section 120B of Indian Penal Code, 1860. He further submits that according to statement of last seen witness PW-4, the accused-applicant was not seen by her going with the deceased and co-accused Amar Singh. He further submits that the hearing/disposal of appeal is likely to take long time, hence, the sentence awarded to the accused-applicant may be suspended and she be released on bail during the pendency of the appeal.
4. Learned Additional Government Advocate has opposed the present application for suspension of sentence.
5. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the present case and also considering the fact that the accused-applicant is a lady who was on bail during trial as well as considering the statement of last seen witness PW-4; disposal of appeal is likely to take time; without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, we deem it just and proper to allow the application for suspension of sentence.
7. In that view of the matter, this criminal miscellaneous 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 trial Court with the stipulation that she shall appear before this Court on 27.10.2025 and thereafter as and when called upon to do so.
