Hon'ble Naheed Ara Moonis,J.

Heard learned counsel for the appellant, the learned AGA and have been gone through the record.

Admit.

Summon the lower court record.

It is contended by the learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has been convicted for maximum one year rigorous imprisonment each under Section 354 IPC and Section 3(1)XI S.C./S.T. Act. The conviction of the appellant is against the evidence on record. The appellant is on interim bail and he was no bail during trial and had never misused the liberty of bail. There is no likelihood of early hearing of appeal in near future because there is dockets of pendency of old appeals and the purpose for filing the appeal would be frustrated, therefore the appellant may be released on bail during the pendency of appeal. In case he is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

Per contra the learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail and supported the judgment.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in the view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, let the appellant, namely, Vinod, convicted and sentenced in Session Trial No.61 of 2002, State Vs. Vinod, arising out of case crime no.135 of 1998, under Section 354 IPC and Section 3(1)XI S.C./S.T. Act, P.S. Purani Basti, District Basti, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned. The photocopies of the bonds so furnished be transmitted to this Court to be kept on record of the appeal.

It is made clear that the realization of fine is not stayed.

After receipt of the record the office is directed to prepare the paper book and list the appeal for hearing in due course.
