He in his capacity as Chartered Accountant has only filled up the form and prepared the application for sanction of loan. He has been falsely implicated in the matter. There is no likelihood of hearing of appeal in near future. In view of aforesaid, learned counsel for the appellant prays for suspension of remaining jail sentence and grant of the bail to the appellant.
