      Mr. S.K. Dixit, learned counsel for the applicant.
      Mr. Sourabh Shukla, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.

Heard on the question of admission.

This criminal revision is admitted for hearing. Heard on I.A.12303/2020 which is first application for suspension of

sentence and grant of bail to the applicant.

T h e applicant stands convicted by the Courts below for offences punishable under Sections 457 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code and has been sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for two years (on both counts) with fine of Rs.250/- (on each count) with default stipulation.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent a n d the impugned judgment passed by the Court below against him is perverse and illegal. The applicant was on bail during pendency of the appeal. The applicant is in jail since 22.09.2019. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant

be released on bail after suspension of his sentence.

Learned Panel Lawyer for the State has vehemently opposed application for suspension of sentence.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the period of sentence awarded on the applicant, without commenting upon the merits of the case, I.A. No.12303/2020 is allowed. It is directed that on depositing fine amount, if not already deposited, and furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court, for his appearance before the trial Court on 17.08.2021 and on all other subsequent dates, as may be fixed by the trial Court in this regard, the remaining part of the substantive jail sentence imposed upon applicant, namely, Jitendra shall remain suspended 2 CRR-2181-2020 during the pendency of this case and he shall be released on bail.

List the case for final hearing in due course.
