Counsel further submits that there is no evidence to substantiate the allegation of rape against the appellant, Ramveer and the principal evidence pertaining to the alleged offence, in fact, implicates Satypal rather than the present appellant. Counsel further submits that there are contradictions in the statements of the witnesses and the learned Trial Court has not appreciated the facts and circumstances of the case holistically and the hearing of the appeal will take its own time, hence, the sentence awarded to the applicant-appellant may be suspended during the pendency of the appeal. Learned Public Prosecutor and learned counsel for the respondent No.2 have vehemently opposed the submissions made herein-above. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material made available on record. Taking into consideration the conviction, term of sentence, custody period, evidence adduced during trial & the submissions made at bar and without commenting upon the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to suspend the sentence awarded to the applicant-appellant during the pendency of the appeal. Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence is allowed and it is, hereby, ordered that the execution of sentence awarded to accused-applicant, namely Ramveer S/o Mansingh, by the learned Trial Court shall remain suspended during pendency of the appeal, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- together with two sureties of Rs.25,000/-
