Learned counsel appearing for the applicant-appellant submits that the appellant was on bail during trial and the learned [2026:RJ-JP:18122] (2 of 2) [SOSA-828/2026] Trial Court has already suspended the sentence of the appellant for a period of one month. Counsel further submits that the learned Trial Court has not appreciated the facts & 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 has vehemently opposed the submissions made herein-above. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material made available on record. Looking to the overall facts & circumstances of the case and 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 Jeetu Srivastav Son Of Shri Kishanpal, 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/- each, to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before this Court on 01.06.2026 and thereafter, as and when he is called upon to do so.
