Order
10/01/2023
Heard learned counsel for the accused petitioner and learned
Public Prosecutor on the application for suspension of sentence
and perused the judgment impugned dated 28.05.2022 passed by
learned Additional Sessions Judge, No.3, Ajmer whereby the
accused petitioner has been convicted for the offence punishable
under sections 138 of NI Act and has been sentenced to maximum
four months simple imprisonment along with fine of
Rs.1,20,000/-.
Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner submits that the
petitioner is a barber and run a small shop in village and does not
(2 of 3) [SOSR-254/2022]
have sufficient amount to satisfy the complainant otherwise he
has strong arguable case in his favor.
Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the prayer
made by learned counsel for the accused-petitioner.
The accused-petitioner is behind the bars and the hearing of
appeal is likely to take further more time, therefore, considering
the overall submissions and looking to the totality of facts and
circumstances of the case while refraining from passing any
comments on the niceties of the matter and the defects of the
prosecution as the same may put an adverse effect on hearing of
the petition, this court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for
suspending the sentence awarded to the accused petitioner yet he
would have to pay Rs.20,000/- to the complainant.
Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence filed
under Section 389 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is ordered that the
sentences passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, vide
judgment dated 28.05.2022 in Criminal Appeal No.08/2021
against the appellant-applicant Satyanarayan Sain Son Of Shri
Bhuralal Sain shall remain suspended till final disposal of the
aforesaid appeal and he shall be released on bail provided he
executes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/-with one
surety of Rs.25,000/- to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge
for their appearance in this court on 13.02.2023 and whenever
ordered to do so till the disposal of the case on the conditions
indicated below:-
1. That he/she/they will appear before the trial
Court in the month of January of every year till the
appeal is decided.
(3 of 3) [SOSR-254/2022]
2. That if the applicant(s) changes the place of
residence, he/she/they will give in writing
his/her/their changed address to the trial Court as
well as to the counsel in the High Court.
3. Similarly, if the sureties change their
address(s),they will give in writing their changed
address to the trial Court.
4. He shall deposit the amount of Rs.20,000/-
with the trial court as a condition precedent to
release him on bail.
