1. Accused-applicant has preferred this application for
suspension of sentence.
2. Heard on application for suspension of sentence.
3. It is contended by counsel for the applicant that the
applicant has remained in custody for a period of more than ten
years including remission. Applicant is aged sixty seven years. It is
also contended that the initial version before the police was with
regard to suicide, however, after three months the story was
changed from suicide to murder. It is further contended that
disposal of appeal will take time.
(2 of 2) [SOSA-1279/2021]
4. Learned Additional Government Advocate has opposed the
application for suspension of sentence.
5. We have considered the contentions.
6. Taking note of the fact that the applicant has remained in
custody for a period of more than ten years including remission,
initially the statement were with regard to offence under Section
306 IPC and subsequently, after three months, the story of
murder was put in during investigation and without commenting
on the merits of the case, we deem it proper to allow the
application for suspension of sentence.
7. Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence is
allowed. It is ordered that the sentence awarded to accused-
applicant in Sessions Case No.21/2016 (126/14, 37/14) shall
remain suspended if the applicant 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.
