Order
17/01/2023
Heard learned counsel for the accused appellants and
learned Public Prosecutor on the application for suspension of
sentence and perused the judgment impugned dated 14.09.2022
passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, No.5, Kota whereby
the accused appellants have been convicted for the offence
punishable under sections 148, 452, 323/149, 307/149 and
325/149 IPC and has been sentenced to maximum ten years
(2 of 4) [SOSA-1329/2022]
simple imprisonment along with fine of Rs. 10,000/- in default to
further undergo SI for two months.
Learned counsel for the accused-appellants submits that
there is a cross case where case was lodged by Kailashi Devi, the
wife of the appellant No.2 in which charge-sheet was submitted
and the matter is pending trial. There was no premeditation to kill
the victim rather the incident occurred in a spur of moment after
exchange of hot altercation and the fact is admitted by PW-13,
Investigating Officer who conducted the investigation. PW-8 Satu
made omnibus allegations of inflicting injuries. PW-10 Dr. Vinod
Garg observed injuries on victim Deva. The first was bruise on left
leg and the second was a stitched wound on the parietal region of
the skull for which after treatment, medical opinion of injury was
given as dangerous to life. In this regard, it is submitted that at
the first instance, the Medical Officer has not observed injury as
dangerous to life and the opinion in this regard was given after 18
days without physically examining the victim rather solely on the
basis of treatment record. No discharge ticket is available on
record.
Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the prayer
made by learned counsel for the accused-appellant.
The accused-appellants are 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 appeal, this court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for
suspending the sentence awarded to the accused appellants.
(3 of 4) [SOSA-1329/2022]
Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence filed
under Section 389 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is ordered that the
