SAPNA GOYAL 2025.09.01 18:21 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP-25216-2025 -2- Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents submits that they have no objection in case, the prayer of the petitioner is accepted but submits that the next date of hearing has already been put by the Tribunal in the month of December. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the records of the present case with their able assistance. Once, challenge is to the order passed by the Court Martial wherein, even the imprisonment has been ordered and an appeal has been preferred along with an application for the suspension of sentence, even if the appeal is not to be heard at an early date but, the application for the suspension of sentence should have been heard, which deals with the liberty to the petitioner. Keeping in view the totality of the circumstances, on an application being moved by the petitioner for pre-ponement of application for the suspension of sentence, the Tribunal is requested that the said claim be decided as expeditiously as possible. Present petition is disposed of in the above terms. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of.
