                                   Learned counsel for the applicants submits that applicants are in jail
                            and if they are not released on bail, then the purpose of filing this revision
                            would become futile. Therefore, it is prayed that execution of jail sentence of
                            the applicants be suspended and they be released on bail.
                                   Learned counsel for the respondent- State on the other hand supports

the impugned judgment and opposes the prayer for suspension of sentence.

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

After perusal of the record and hearing the arguments and the fact that final hearing of this revision may take time, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I deem it proper to suspend the remaining jail sentence of the applicants.

Accordingly, I.A. No.30284/2025 is allowed. It is directed that subject of the fine amount in the trial court by the applicants and on his furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) each with a solvent surety in the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Trial Court for their appearance before the Trial Court on the dates as may be fixed by the Trial Court, the execution of remaining part of jail sentence imposed upon applicant no.1- Prem Singh, applicant no.2-Lakhan, applicant no.3-Badan Singh, applicant no.4-Dheeraj Singh, applicant no.5-Meharban, applicant no.6-Gopal, applicant no.7- Bhagwan Das and applicant no.8- Bablu @ Udaybhan shall remain suspended and they he shall be released on bail till final disposal of the revision.

Applicants shall follow the conditions of Section 438 (3) for suspension of sentence as under:-

(a) that such person shall attend in accordance with the conditions of the bond executed under this Chapter;

(b) that such person shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which he is accused, or suspected, of the commission of which he is suspected; and,

(c) that such person shall not directly or indirectly make any

7 CRR-6131-2025 inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence.

List the case for final hearing in due course. C.C. as per rule.

(AVANINDRA KUMAR SINGH) JUDGE
