Judgment
03/03/2025
Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the
material available on record.
Learned counsel for the appellant submits the recovered
contraband is below commercial quantity. He further submits that
the appellant was on bail during the trial and hearing of the appeal
will take sufficiently long time, therefore, the sentence of the
appellant may kindly be suspended.
Learned AAG opposed the prayer for suspension of sentence.
Upon a consideration of the arguments advanced on behalf
of the appellant and having regard to the facts and circumstances
of the case including the facts that the appellant was on bail
during the trial and hearing of the appeal is likely to take time,
[2025:RJ-JD:11715] (2 of 3) [SOSA-89/2025]
therefore, this court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for
suspending the sentence awarded to the accused appellant.
Accordingly, the application for suspension of sentence filed
under Section 430 BNSS (Section 389 Cr.P.C.) is allowed and it is
ordered that the sentence passed by learned Special Judge (NDPS
