This judgment and order dated *2* 58revn338o19 16.07.2015 is confirmed in Criminal Appeal No.60/2015 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ambajogai. 3. When the matter is called out, the learned advocate for the applicant has tendered Criminal Application No.4070/2026 praying for suspending the substantive sentence imposed vide the impugned judgment and order. 4. Hence, Criminal Application No.4070/2026, which is not on the Board, is taken up for hearing. 5. The learned advocate for the applicant states that the revision is having strong valid grounds and there are bright chances of success in revision. He, therefore, prays for suspending the sentence till the final decision of the instant revision application. 6. The learned APP opposes the application and submits that there are concurrent findings of the Courts below. 7. Considering the quantum of sentence, nature of allegations and the fact that the revision having been filed in 2019 would take sufficiently long time to be heard and decided, the sentence needs to be suspended. Hence, I proceed to pass the *3* 58revn338o19 following order :- ORDER (i) Criminal Application No.4070/2026 is allowed.
