out of total amount of Rs.1,31,756/-, was recovered from the present petitioner and Rs.18,000/- was recovered from Ramesh Chandra Awasthi, the then Principal of the School and the amount of Rs.77,989/- is to be recovered from the other Principal Shri Anant Mohan Kasliwal.

Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the decision of the revision petition may take considerable time, therefore, he prays that the present suspension of sentence application may be allowed. 5. Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the suspension of sentence application. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 7. Considering the fact that the embezzlement amount has already been recovered from the present petitioner by the concerned Authority and decision of the revision petition will take considerable time, I deem it just and proper to suspend the sentence awarded to the accused petitioner.
