Order
11/08/2023
Petitioner-Hanuman has preferred the criminal miscellaneous
second suspension of sentence application under Section 389
Cr.P.C. for suspending the sentence passed by learned Additional
Sessions Judge No.2, Alwar in sessions case No.20/2018 vide
judgment dated 15.11.2022, wherein accused-petitioner was
convicted under Sections 341, 323, 324, 326 & 307 of IPC and
was awarded sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment under
Section 307 of IPC along with other Sections.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that accused has
been falsely implicated in the case and has been in custody from
last nine months, though other co-accused-Pinki Devi has already
been enlarged on bail vide order dated 25.01.2023. He further
submits that due to previous enmity petitioner and other
co-accused were involved in the case and complainant has falsely
implicated the accused-petitioner and other co-accused in the
aforesaid case. He further submits that statements of PW-3
Bhikaram, PW-2 Prem Devi, PW-4 Omprakash and PW-6 Shrawan
[2023:RJ-JP:17579] (2 of 2) [SOSA-566/2023]
Devi are not reliable and the learned trial court has wrongly
inferred that accused-petitioner has inflicted the injury to the
injured Bhikaram. He further submits that recovery of alleged axe
from the instance of accused- Hanuman is also in question. He
further alleged that the site plan prepared by the concerned
Investigating Officer is containing signature of another
Investigating Officer Ashok Kumar, the hearing of the case may
take considerable long time, therefore, the criminal misc. second
suspension of sentence application of the accused-petitioner may
be allowed.
Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the criminal
misc. second suspension of sentence application and submits that
PW-3 Bhikaram who is the main injured in his statement recorded
before the learned trial court has specifically alleged that accused-
Hanuman was having axe in his hand and he inflicted the injury on
his head, the version of PW-3 Bhikaram is corroborated by other
eye-witnesses namely PW-1 Dataram, PW-2 Prem Devi, PW-4
Omprakash and PW-6 Shrawan Devi. The injury sustained by
Hanuman is found to be dangerous to life and as a result of injury
parietal bone of injured was fractured.
Thus, looking to the facts and circumstance of the case, I do
not deem it just and proper to allow present criminal misc. second
suspension of sentence application filed under Section 389 Cr.P.C.
and the same is therefore, dismissed.
