ORDER
Date : 02/09/2026 (Michael Zothankhuma, J)
1. Heard Ms. R Choudhury, learned senior counsel assisted by Ms. S. Ahmed, learned counsel for the applicant/appellant. Also heard Ms. B. Bhuyan, learned senior counsel and APP, Assam and Ms. A Gayan, learned Legal Aid Counsel for the respondent no. 2.
2. This application has been filed under section 430 BNSS for suspending the sentence to be undergone by the applicant/appellant, pursuant to the judgment dated 02/04/2025, passed by the learned Special Judge, Bongaigaon, in Special (POCSO) case no. 01(BGN)/2024 arising out of Bongaigaon PS case no. 399/2023, by which the applicant has been convicted under section 376(AB)/506 IPC, read with section 6 of the POCSO Act.
3. On considering the fact that the victim was around 9 years of age when the appellant had a apparently inserted his private parts into her private parts and PW-3 has stated that he had seen the appellant carrying the victim, besides seeing the act of the applicant's penis touching the private parts of the victim, we are not inclined to allow the prayer for suspension of sentence at this stage. Consequently, the application is rejected.
