-2- CRA NO.887/2016
Shri Vivek Singh, learned counsel for the appellant submits that although the allegation against the appellant Aman is that he caused injury by means of knife but that was not on the vital part of the body, however, as per the doctor's opinion due to excessive bleeding the deceased died. He further submits that the appellant has completed more than 8 years of imprisonment so far. This is an appeal of the year 2016, hence it is not likely to come up for final hearing in near future. The other four co-accused persons have already been granted bail by this Court, therefore, they are not interested for final hearing of the appeal even though the appeals are listed for final hearing. The role attributed to the present appellant, the facts that the injury caused by him was not on the vital part of the body, the offence would not travel more than 326 IPC and that the alleged incident occurred on account of the sudden provocation by the deceased, he prays for suspension of sentence of the appellant.
Learned GA opposes the prayer and drawn our attention to para-17 of the impugned judgment in which the doctor has opined that the injury caused by the appellant Aman has become vital for his death.
Considering the overall facts and totality of the circumstances of the case and the period of incarceration of the appellant, without commenting on the merit of the case, the application is allowed and it is directed that the jail sentence passed against the appellant No.1 Aman @ Ramju shall remain suspended and he be released on bail upon his depositing the fine amount (if already not deposited) and furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees Thirty Thousand) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance before the Registry of this Court on 04.07.2022 and on such further dates as may be fixed in this behalf by the Registry during the pendency of this appeal.
-3- CRA NO.887/2016
