He is in judicial custody since long. Counsel further contends that the judgments of conviction & sentence passed by the Courts below, are totally based upon surmises and conjectures, and the revision petition is likely to take a long time to be decided. Hence, the sentence awarded to the petitioner should be suspended during the pendency of the revision petition. Considering the term of sentence, without commenting upon the merits of the case, and taking into account the arguments made at bar, this Court deems it just & proper to suspend the sentence awarded to the petitioner during the pendency of the revision. Accordingly, this application for suspension of sentence is allowed. It is hereby ordered that the execution of sentence awarded to the petitioner, namely Shankar Lal Rav S/o Ramdev Rav, by the ld. Trial Court vide judgment dt.18.08.2025 & affirmed by the ld. Appellate Court vide judgment dt. 26.02.2026, shall remain suspend during the pendency of the revision petition, subject to the condition that he shall deposit Rs.1,25,000/- by way of demand draft in the name of complainant/respondent.
