Jabalpur, Dated : 12-03-2021
       Mr.Dharmendra Shah, learned counsel for the applicant.
       Ms.Vasundhara Shukla, learned P.L. for the State.
       Heard on the admission.
       The revision is admitted for hearing.
       Considered I.A.No.2683/2021, which is first application for suspension

of sentence on behalf of applicant.
       The applicant has been convicted by the impugned judgment dated
11.2.2021

passed by the learned lower appellate Court in Criminal Appeal No.07/2021 for offence under section 324 of I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo S.I. for 1 year with fine of Rs.100/- with default stipulations.

Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that impugned judgment has been passed without appreciating the oral and documentary evidence on record. The final disposal of instant appeal would take considerable time. The applicant was on bail during trial and he is in custody since 27.1.2021.

Therefore, the substantive jail sentence of the applicant be suspended.

Learned Panel Lawyer has opposed the prayer for bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, looking to the nature of offence, sentence awarded by the learned lower appellate Court and period of custody of the applicant and taking into account t hat this revision would take considerable time for final disposal, without commenting on the merits of the case, the aforesaid interlocutory application is allowed.

It is directed that execution of remaining jail sentence of applicant-Chhotelal Baiga shall remain suspended and it is ordered that he shall be released on bail on depositing the fine amount, if not already deposited, and on furnishing a personal bond for the sum of Rs.40,000/- (Rupees Forty thousand only) with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court with a further direction to appear before the Trial Court on 11.8.2021 and also on such other dates as may be 2 CRR-446-2021 fixed by that Court in this regard during the pendency of this appeal.

I.A. No.2683/2021 stands disposed of.

List the case for final hearing in due course.
