¶17

I have heard the learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P for respondent State.

¶18

The learned counsel for the applicant submits that the trial Court has failed to appreciate the evidence on record in its correct perspective and arrived at the wrong fndings. It is further submitted that the applicant was on bail during the trial and he did not misuse the liberty granted to him. It is submitted that considering these facts and circumstances, substantive sentence be suspended and applicant be released on bail.

¶19

On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent submits that applicant is involved in serious case of blacking the face of public servant. It is submitted that considering the nature of ofence the substantive sentence may not be suspended.

¶20

This Court has already admitted the appeal fled by the applicant against his conviction. Considering the fact that the applicant was on bail during the trial and short term of sentence, I am inclined to suspend the substantive sentence imposed upon the applicant by the Trial Court and to release him on bail. Hence the following order is passed :-
