HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI
Order 23/03/2026 This suspension of sentence application has been filed by the applicant-petitioner alongwith the revision petition.
Learned counsel for the applicant-petitioner submits that the applicant has been convicted by the learned Trial Court for offence(s) under Section(s) 138 of N.I. Act and sentenced with a maximum period of six months simple imprisonment along with fine as per judgment dated 26.02.2024. The applicant has also filed an appeal before the learned Appellate Court and the same was dismissed, while affirming the judgment of the Trial Court, vide its judgment dated 27.10.2025.

[2026:RJ-JP:12169] (2 of 3) [SOSR-546/2025] presently, he is behind the bars since 12.03.2026. Counsel also submits that the judgment of conviction & sentence passed by the Trial Court, is totally based upon surmises and conjectures and the revision petition is likely to take long time to conclude. Hence, the sentence awarded to the applicant may be suspended during the pendency of the revision petition. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the
submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner. Looking to the term of sentence, without commenting upon the merits of the case and considering the submissions made at bar, this Court deems it just and proper to suspend the sentence awarded to the applicant-petitioner. Accordingly, this application for suspension of sentence is allowed and it is ordered that the execution of sentence awarded to the applicant, namely Satyendra Singh S/o Shri Mahtab Singh, by the learned Trial Court vide judgment dated 26.02.2024 and affirmed by the learned Appellate Court vide judgment dated 27.10.2025, shall remain suspended during the pendency of the revision petition, provided he deposits Rs.1,50,000/- amount by way of Demand Draft in the name of complainant-respondent and also furnishes a personal bond 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 23.04.2026 and thereafter, as and when he is called upon to do so. On deposit of the aforesaid amount, the same shall be released and disbursed to the complainant-respondent on an
[2026:RJ-JP:12169] (3 of 3) [SOSR-546/2025] undertaking that if the applicant-petitioner succeeds in petition, same would be returned to the applicant-petitioner with interest @ 6% per annum within a period of two weeks from the disposal of the revision petition.
