which blood started flowing and injury was caused by hitting the wrist of the left hand.
Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that appellant has a good case. Conclusion of appeal will take time. There are so many contradictions in the record. Appellant was on bail during trial and he has not misused the bail granted to him by the trial Court. Hence, he prays for suspension of sentence and grant of bail to the appellant.
Learned counsel for the respondent/State has opposed the application and prays for its rejection.
I have heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. Considering
the facts and circumstances of the case and on perusal of record, I am of the opinion that the jail sentence of appellant deserves to be suspended.
Accordingly, IA No. 24752/2023 is allowed and it is directed that subject to deposit of fine amount, if not already deposited, and on furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs 20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of trial Court, the execution of remaining jail sentence of the appellant shall remain suspended till final disposal of this appeal.
