Order
28/07/2022
Learned counsel for the appellant submits the sentence
awarded to the appellant is eight years and the connectivity of the
appellant with the incident is doubtful.
Learned counsel for the appellant, however, makes a limited
submission that out of total eight years of sentence, the petitioner
has already undergone the sentence of five year, eights months
and eighteen days as on 19.07.2022. Learned counsel, therefore,
prays that the sentence of the appellant be suspended during the
pendency of the appeal.
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application.
This Court, looking into the record, factual matrix as well as
the sentence undergone by the appellant which is of five years,
eight months and eighteen days, is inclined to suspend the
sentence awarded to the accused-appellant.
