[2026:RJ-JP:11843-DB] (2 of 2) [SOSA-301/2025] their presence, at the place of occurrence, are not reliable witnesses.
4. Learned Additional Government Advocate and learned counsel for the complainant have opposed the suspension of sentence application. It is contended by
learned counsel for the complainant that the applicant was paramour of wife of the deceased; he had threatened the deceased just prior to the incident and he accidented the motorcycle, as a result of which, the deceased expired. Thereafter, the trolley of tractor overturned and another lady who was standing on the road, has also expired.
5. We have considered the contentions and perused the material on record.
6. Considering the statements of PW/2 & PW/5 as well as the mechanical inspection report of the tractor and motorcycle, we are not inclined to entertain the suspension of sentence application.
