7. These are the applications for suspension of sentence and bail. The sentence awarded for the offence punishable under Section 304 Part II of the Indian Penal Code by the trial Court is three years rigorous imprisonment and to pay fine of Rs.10,000/- each, in default to suffer simple imprisonment of one month. The fine amount has been paid.

¶24

8. Learned APP opposed the applications for suspension of sentence and bail. Learned APP submitted that for the cogent reasons and after appreciation of the evidence on record, the trial Court has convicted the applicant.

¶25

9. With the assistance of learned counsel for the applicant, I have perused the judgment and order of the trial Court and the materials on record. The applicant was in pre-

trial custody for a period of one month. The applicant was on bail during the trial. There is nothing on record to indicate that the applicants had misused his liberty while on bail. Considering the duration of sentence and as the appeal is unlikely to be heard in near future, I am inclined to suspend the sentence and to enlarge the applicant on bail.

¶29

10. The sentence is suspended. The applicant be enlarged on same bail as before the trial Court but with fresh bonds.
