applicant was on bail during trial and the appeal is not likely to be heard in near future. Therefore, he prayed that sentence awarded to the accused-applicant may be suspended and he be released on bail during the pendency of the appeal.

¶21

Learned Deputy Government Advocate opposed the application for suspension of sentence. 5. We have heard counsel for the parties and perused the record.

¶22

Considering the facts and circumstances of the present case, and also considering the fact that the accused-applicant was on bail during trial and no recovery has been effected at the instance of the accused-applicant and hearing of appeal may take long time, we deem it just and proper to allow this criminal miscellaneous suspension of sentence application.

¶23

In that view of the matter, this criminal miscellaneous suspension of sentence application is allowed and it is ordered that execution of sentence awarded to the accused-applicant shall remain suspended during the pendency of the criminal appeal and the accused-applicant be admitted to bail subject to satisfaction of the trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before this Court on 03.07.2026 and thereafter as and when called upon to do so.

¶24

Office is directed to send a copy of this order to the concerned trial Court through e-mail/fax for necessary compliance.
