HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE UMA SHANKER VYAS Judgment / Order

19/05/2025

Heard learned counsel for the parties on the application filed for suspension of sentence and perused the entire material available on record.

Learned counsel for the accused-applicant submits that there is no reliable and legally acceptable evidence to hold the accusedapplicant guilty for the alleged offence(s) and there is every likelihood of succeeding in the criminal revision. Learned counsel further submits that accused-applicant was on bail during trial and presently he is behind bars. Learned counsel further submits that final hearing of the revision is likely to take time thus sentence of the accused-applicant may be suspended.

Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer regarding suspension of sentence.

(2 of 2) [SOSR-178/2025 in CRLR-834/2025]
