Hawari, learned counsel for the applicant/appellant. Also heard Mr. R. J Baruah, learned Addl. PP for the State of Assam. 2. This I.A has been preferred seeking suspension of sentence and release of the applicant/appellant on bail. The applicant/appellant was convicted under Section 306/34 IPC and sentenced to undergo 7 years R.I out of which the applicant/appellant already spent more than 2 years behind the bars. 3. The law is well settled that when a sentence is for a fixed period, the same is to be suspended except for exceptional reasons. 4. Having regard to the above as well as the fact that the applicant/appellant has already spent more than 2 years behind bars, the prayer for release on bail is allowed. 5. The reminder of the sentence stands suspended and the petitioner is directed to be released on bail of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court. 6. Accordingly, I.A stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
