(2 of 3) It has been submitted on behalf of the appellant that the appellant has been falsely implicated in the case. There are several material contradictions and infirmities in the prosecution evidence. The appellant has been named in the FIR but the prosecutrix in her statement admitted that she did not know him before the incident. Thus, the name of the accused-appellant in the FIR is suspicious. The appellant has been involved due to some extraneous reasons. During trial, the appellant was on bail and now, he is in custody since 22.09.2021. He has already served about more than one year of sentence. Medical evidence also does not support the prosecution case. Hearing of appeal may take long time.
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application for suspension of sentence.
Heard learned counsel for the parties and scanned the evidence available on record carefully.
Taking into consideration the submissions of learned counsel for the appellant, overall facts and circumstances of the case but without commenting upon detailed merits of the case, this Court deems just and proper to allow the application for suspension of sentence.
Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence is allowed and it is ordered that the sentence awarded to accused- appellant Sher Singh Jakhad S/o Shri Shivpal Singh shall remain suspended till disposal of this criminal appeal and he be released on bail, provided the appellant furnishes a personal bond of Rs.1,00,000/- and two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the (Downloaded on 04/12/2021 at 09:24:35 PM) (3 of 3) satisfaction of the learned trial court for his appearance in this Court on 03rd January, 2022 and as and when called upon to do so.
