Order
14/02/2023 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned Public
Prosecutor on application for suspension of sentence.
It is submitted on behalf of the accused-appellant that the
incident occurred in the heat of passion at the spur of moment.
There was no intention to cause fatal injuries to the deceased by
the appellant as there is no repetition of blows by the appellant.
Learned counsel further submits that the appellant has already
undergone a sentence of almost five years and the appeal is not
likely to be heard in near further. Therefore, the sentence
awarded to the appellant may be suspended, keeping in mind the
period of sentence undergone by the appellant.
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application for
suspension of sentence.
I have considered the submissions made at the bar.
