Crl.M.A No.1 of 2023
Heard.
The petitioner was arrested on 30.10.2023 and
committed to jail on execution of the sentence. In the
circumstances arising from the facts of the case, I am of the
view that the sentence is liable to be suspended. Hence this
petition is allowed. Sentence is suspended on the petitioner
executing a bond for Rs.50,000/-(Rupees fifty thousand only)
with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the
satisfaction of the trial Court and on the condition of deposit
of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) out of the fine
amount within three weeks. In the event of depositing the
Crl.R.P No.1048 of 2023
said amount, the same shall be paid to the 2 nd respondent
since the direction in the appeal judgment is to pay the
amount of fine as compensation to the 2nd respondent.
List for hearing on 24.11.2023.
