Order 20/02/2025
Heard learned counsel for the appellant as well as learned
Assistant to Addl. Advocate General and perused the material
available on record.
Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the prosecutrix
was major and there are major contradictions, improvements and
omission in her statement. The appellant was on bail during the trial
and hearing of the appeal will take sufficient long time. Therefore,
the sentence may kindly be suspended.
Learned Assistant to Addl. Advocate General opposed the
prayer made by the counsel for the appellant.
Upon a consideration of the arguments advanced on behalf of
the appellant and having regard to the facts and circumstances of
the case, the appellant was on bail during the trial, therefore, this
Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for suspending the
sentences awarded to the accused appellant.
Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence filed
under Section 389 Cr.P.C. (430 BNSS) is allowed and it is ordered
[2025:RJ-JD:10250] (2 of 2) [SOSA-1705/2024]
