Judgment / Order

1. Heard on application for suspension of sentence.
2. It is contended by counsel for the appellant that as per the
FIR, the marriage of appellant with the deceased took place
around seven years ago. Deceased consumed insecticide.
Appellant is having two children and has remained in custody for a
period of more than four years. It is also contended that the
Investigating Officer has stated that deceased was not permitted
to go to her parental home. It is argued that, this might be the
reason for her to commit suicide. It is further contended that as
per the evidence, the last dispute between the couple took place
around a year ago.
(2 of 2) [CRLAS-360/2021]
3. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application for
suspension of sentence.
4. I have considered the contentions.
5. Considering the contentions of counsel for the appellant and
taking note of the fact that the appellant is having two young
children and has already remained in custody for a period of more
than four years. There is no allegation with regard to demand of
dowry soon before the death, hence, I deem it proper to allow the
application for suspension of sentence.
6. Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence is
allowed. It is ordered that the sentence awarded to accused-
applicant in Sessions Case No.25/2017 shall remain suspended if
the appellant furnishes a personal bond of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees
One Lac only) together with two sureties in the sum of
Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) each to the satisfaction
of the learned trial Court to the effect that he shall appear before
this Court as and when called upon to do so.
