Magistrate (Railways), Kota, District Kota.

[CRLMP-3431/2025]

(3 of 3)

Upon a consideration of the arguments advanced on behalf of the appellant and having regard to the facts and circumstances as available on the record, especially the fact that maximum term of sentence is three years and he is in custody since 28.04.2025 and owing to some communication gap and confusion, petitioners could not furnish bail bonds in terms of the order dated 22.08.2023 passed by learned Appellate Court, this Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for suspending the sentence awarded to the accused appellant during pendency of the instant appeal.

¶26

Accordingly, the instant misc. Petition is allowed. The order dated 08.05.2025 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Sawai Madhopur in Criminal Appeal No.69/2023 is quashed and set aside and it is hereby ordered that the sentence passed by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (Railways), Kota, District Kota in Criminal Regular Case No.11568/2018, CRNo.3/2018 against the petitioners Dinesh S/o Shri Sultan & Banwari S/o Shri Sultan shall remain suspended till final disposal of the appeal and he shall be released on bail, provided they execute a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge for their appearance in trial court whenever ordered to do so. Stay application also stands disposed of.
