Name of the             conviction       Sentence Fine       In lie

Learned counsel for the appellants has submitted that the

appellants were on bail and they have not misused the liberty so

granted to them. It is further submitted that the jail sentence of the

appellants has been suspended by the trial court up to 11.3.2021.

There are fair chances of success of this appeal and there is no

likelihood of hearing of the appeal in near future and if the custodial

sentence of the appellants is not suspended then the appeal filed by :2: Cr.A. No.1373/2021

them may turn infructuous. Under these circumstances, learned

counsel for the appellants prays for suspension of remaining custodial

sentence and grant of bail to the appellants.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State/respondent

opposed the prayer and prayed for rejection of the application.

Considering the submissions made on behalf of the parties and

facts and circumstances of the case, it would be appropriate to suspend

the jail sentence of the appellants.

Accordingly, I.A. Nos.3381/2021 is allowed and it is directed

that on furnishing personal bond by appellants Mandanlal, Ashok

Sharma and Rajkumar in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five

Thousand only) each with one solvent surety each in the like amount

to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court, for their regular

appearance before the concerned trial Court, the execution of custodial

part of the remaining sentence imposed against the appellants shall

remain suspended, till the final disposal of this appeal.

The appellants, after being enlarged on bail, shall mark their

presence before the concerned trial Court on 30/4/2021 and on all

such subsequent dates, which are fixed in this regard by the

concerned trial Court.
