This Court suspended the sentence by passing a conditional order. On 19.02.2026, when the counsel for the respondent submits that conditional order of this Court has not been complied by the petitioner, this Court directed the Magistrate to proceed against the petitioner for execution of order of sentence in accordance with law.

the matter is listed before this Court subsequently after depositing the amount and today, no representation on behalf of the petitioner. It appears that in view of depositing of the entire amount, the petitioner is not interested in pursuing the matter. However, in the ends of justice, one more opportunity is given to the petitioner counsel to pursue the matter. If the counsel for the petitioner does not appear on the next date of hearing, petition will be dismissed.”
2. Inspite of aforesaid order, today also, the counsel
for the petitioner is absent. Hence, in view of the order dated 18.06.2026, the petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
