This is an application for suspension of sentence and grant of bail to the appellant who has been convicted under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 7 years and to pay fine of Rs.5000/-.

¶13

during the course of trial and that after the impugned judgment and order was passed, he has been taken into custody.

¶14

I have heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned APP.

¶15

The record shows that the appellant is indeed a 72 years old person and that the incident appears to have occurred due to dispute within the family. There is nothing to show that the applicant-appellant had violated conditions of bail while he was granted bail during the course of trial. In that view of the matter, the sentence imposed against the applicant-appellant by the trial Court deserves to be suspended during the pendency of this appeal. Accordingly, it is so directed and it is further directed that the applicant-appellant shall be released on bail on the condition that he shall furnish a P.R. Bond of Rs.10,000/- and the surety of like amount and on the further condition that he shall not enter the house of the victim during the pendency of the appeal.

¶16

Application is disposed of.
