JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI Order 16/04/2026 Instant application for suspension of sentence has been preferred on behalf of the applicant-appellant under Section 430 of BNSS alongwith the appeal, to suspend the sentence awarded by the learned Special Judge, SC/ST Cases (Prevention of Atrocities Cases) Baran, District Baran (Raj.) vide its judgment dated 09.03.2026 in Sessions Case No.157/2016, whereby the applicant-appellant was convicted for the alleged offence(s) & sentenced to undergo maximum period of two years simple imprisonment with fine. Learned counsel appearing for the applicant-appellant submits that the appellant was on bail during trial and the learned Trial Court has already suspended the sentence of the appellant [2026:RJ-JP:15931] (2 of 2) [SOSA-644/2026] for a period of 30 days. Counsel further submits that 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 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 Murari Lal Son Of Hansraj Mali, 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 16.05.2026 and thereafter, as and when he is called upon to do so.
