Learned counsel for the State seeks and is granted permission to adopt the previous objection.

Heard on I.A No.23085 of 2023, an application under Section 389(1) of the Cr.P.C for suspension of sentence and grant of bail to appellant Panda @ Rohit Choudhary arising out of judgment dated 10.10.2012 delivered in S.T. No. 72/2011 by IIIrd Additional Sessions Judge, Jabalpur, Distt. Jabalpur The appellant has been convicted under Section 302 of the I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo life imprisonment with fine of Rs.1000/- and Section 27 Arms Act sentenced to undergo R.I. for three years with fine of Rs.1,000/- with default stipulations.

Learned counsel for the appellant submits no previous application of

applicant was dismissed on merits. The appellant is in actual custody from 10.11.2010. The final hearing of this appeal is not possible in near future. Thus, the remaining jail sentence of appellant may be suspended.

Learned Government Advocate opposed the prayer on the basis of previous objection.

Considering the period of custody and bleak possibility of final hearing of this appeal in near future, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, we deem it proper to suspend the remaining jail sentence of the appellant.
