(2 of 3) It has been submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has been falsely implicated in the case. The injury has been caused on non-vital part of the body. P.W.2-Dr. Jokhram has stated that injuries No.1 and 2 were grievous in nature but they were not sufficient to cause death. He has further stated in the cross-examination that this possibility cannot be ruled out that the injury was caused in the scuffle due to accidental fire by fire-arm. P.W.13, eye witness-Bhagwan Singh has turned hostile. He has not supported the prosecution case. P.W.17 has stated that he reached at the place of occurrence after Bhagwan Singh but Bhagwan Singh has been declared hostile. P.W.18-Bharat has admitted that the incident occurred due to accidental fire in a scuffle between the deceased and the appellant. Medical report does not support the prosecution case. There was no intention to cause death.
It has further been submitted that during trial, the appellant was on bail and now, he is in judicial custody since last about more than six months. Hearing of appeal is likely to 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.
