2. The applicant has prayed for suspension of the sentence under Section 430 of the BNSS in relation to the impugned judgment dated 07.01.2026, passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge -cum- Special Judge (POCSO), Kamrup (M) in Sessions Special Case No. 99/2025, by which the applicant has been convicted under Section 6 of the POCSO Act read with Section 65(1) of BNS.
3. We have heard the learned counsels for the parties.
4. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the applicant was 35 years of age, while the school going girl was only 15 years of age. Not only does it appear that the applicant has committed aggravated penetrative sexual assault on the victim, but a girl child has also been born to the victim. The applicant is apparently having a wife, two minor children and his parents to look after.
5. Due to the above reasons, we are not inclined to allow the prayer for suspension of the sentence at this stage.
6. The I.A. is accordingly dismissed.
