Hon'ble Shri Kant Tripathi,J.

Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned AGA and perused the impugned judgement rendered by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Court No. 3, Pilibhit in Session Trial No. 33 of 2011.

Admit. Summon lower court record.

Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the appellant no. 2 is on interim bail after conviction and appellant no. 1 was on bail during the trial and is in jail after the sentence and conviction but he never abused the bail. The maximum sentence imposed on each of the appellants is of one year under section 60(2) of the Excise Act. It was further contended that in case the appellants are not released on bail, the appeal would, in due course, become infructuous as there is no hope of an early hearing of the appeal due to heavy dockets.

In my opinion, prima facie, the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsel for the appellants have substance, therefore, it is just and expedient to exercise the discretion in favour of the appellant.

Keeping in view the nature of offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, the severity of punishment and submissions of the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned AGA, I am of the view that the appellants have made out a case for bail.

Let the appellants Anand Mandal alias Anandi and Shakar Lal Mandal involved in the aforesaid session trial be released on bail during the pendency of the appeal on their each furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.

On acceptance of bail bonds and personal bonds, the lower court shall transmit photo state copies thereof to this Court for being kept on the record of this appeal.

Let the paper books be prepared.

List the appeal for hearing in due course.
