Ms Sharmila Sharma, counsel for the appellant.
Shri Vishal Panwar, GA. for State.
Heard on I.A.No. 5453/2023 which is second application under section 389
Cr.P.C. for suspension of sentence and grant of bail moved on behalf of appellant
No2-Kamlesh. The earlier application was dismissed as withdrawn.
Appellant has been convicted and sentenced by judgment dated 23.12.2021
passed by ASJ Jobat district Alirajpur in S.T.No 38/2018 under section 395 and
397 IPC and sentenced to undergo 7 years RI with fine of Rs.2000/- with default
stipulation.
Learned counsel for the appellant submits that complainant Motilal had not
identified the appellant No.2 and he had named only 3 accused persons Niar
Singh, Chhagan and Keram. It is further submitted that appellant No2 was on bail
during the trial and did not misuse the liberty. There is no likelihood of early
hearing of Appeal in near future. Hence, it is prayed that application for
suspension of sentence be allowed.
Learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State opposes the prayer on the
ground that one purse was seized from the possession of appellant has been
identified by the complainant.
Counsel for the appellant has referred to the statement of Tahsildar (PW-6)
that he stated that the other purses which were mixed with the purse of
complainant was not of specific company or colour. Signature Not Verified Signed by: MUKTA CHANDRASHEKHAR KOUSHAL Signing time: 02-May-23 10:34:25 AM
After hearing learned counsel for parties and taking into consideration that
complainant had not named the present appellant and he had also not caused any
injury to the complainant, he was on bail during trial and appeal and did not
misuse the liberty, this Court is of the considered view that it is a fit case for
suspension of the sentence and grant of bail to the appellant. Hence, without
expressing any opinion on merits of the matter I.A.No.5453/2023 is allowed and
jail sentence of the appellant No.2-Kamlesh shall remain suspended.
It is directed that subject to depositing the fine amount, if already not
deposited, the appellant shall be released on bail, on furnishing a personal bond in
the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty thousand only) alongwith a solvent surety in
the like amount to the satisfaction of Trial Court, for his appearance before the
Registry of this Court firstly on 14.08.2023 and on such other dates, as may be
fixed by the Registry in this regard, till final disposal of this revision.
Accordingly I.A.no. 5454/2023 for early hearing also stands disposed of.
Certified copy, as per Rules.
