Case No.967 of 2017 whereby the petitioner was found guilty and convicted for the offence under Section 25(1-b)(a) and Section 26 read with Section 35 of the Arms Act and sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment of three years and to pay a fine of Rs.5,00/- in default thereof to suffer simple imprisonment of one month.

2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP, on the prayer for suspension of sentence and grant of ad-interim bail to the petitioner.
