CORAM:- URMILA JOSHI-PHALKE, J. DATED :- JUNE 13, 2025.

By this application, the appellant is seeking suspension of sentence and releasing him on bail.

The appellant was prosecuted of the offence punishable under Sections 353, 332 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code and convicted of the offence punishable under Section 353 of the IPC and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment of two years and to pay fine of Rs.10,000/in default rigorous imprisonment for six months.

Learned Counsel for the appellant submitted that the punishment imposed is of a limited period. From the impugned judgment he pointed out that he has many arguable points in the present appeal. The appeal would take its own time for its final disposal. In the meantime, if sentence is executed the purpose of preferring the appeal

would frustrate. In view of that, he be released on bail and the execution of sentenced be suspended.

Learned APP strongly opposed the application on the ground that the application itself is devoid of merits and hence, the application deserves to be rejected.

I have heard learned Counsel for both the parties and perused the impugned judgment. Learned Counsel for the appellant has pointed out that he has many arguable points in the present appeal. The appeal would take its own time for its final disposal. In the meantime, if sentence is executed the purpose of preferring the appeal would frustrate. In view of that, the application deserves to be allowed. Accordingly, I proceed to pass following order :

(i) The application is allowed.

(ii) The execution of the sentence vide order dated 05/05/2025 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Amravati in Sessions Case No.161/2023 is hereby suspended till final disposal of the appeal.

(iii) The appellant – Pravin Suganchand Bamb be released on bail on executing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rs. Twenty Five thousand) with one surety, in the like amount.
