ORDER
Date : 05.01.2026 (M. Zothankhuma, J) Heard Mr. M. U. Mahmud, learned counsel for the applicant and Ms. B. Bhuyan, learned Addl. PP, Assam.
This is the second time the applicant has submitted an application under Section 430 BNSS for suspension of the sentence passed, vide the impugned judgment dated 16.12.2022 Page No.# 2/2 in Sessions Case No. 110(B)/2018, arising out of Bijni P.S. Case No. 133/2013 by the learned Special Judge (POCSO), Bijni, Chirang (BTR).
Counsels for the parties submit that they have received copies of the paper book and as such, we are ready to dispose of the main appeal. However, the applicant prays that the IA may be heard.
On perusing the contents of this application, we find that the applicant's earlier application for suspension of the sentence had been rejected by a Bench consisting of Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.R. Surana and Hon'ble Mrs. Justice Mitali Thakuria, vide order dated 17.11.2025 in I.A.(Crl.) 989/2022.
Accordingly, we are unable to take up this matter as per the notification issued by the Registry, wherein the rejected bail application is to be listed before the same Bench which had rejected the earlier bail application.
Accordingly, list this matter before the Appropriate Bench on 03.02.2026.
