Order

21/08/2026 These applications for suspension of sentence have been filed by the applicant-petitioners alongwith the revision petitions. Learned counsel for the applicant-petitioners submits that the applicant-petitioners were convicted by the learned Trial Court for the alleged offences and were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a maximum period of three years, along with a fine, vide judgment dated 28.08.2024. Counsel further submits that the applicant-petitioners have also filed an appeal before the learned Appellate Court and the same was dismissed, while affirming the judgment of the Trial Court, vide its order dated 31.07.2026. Counsel has annexed the Certificate under Rule 311 of High Court Rules, 1952 to the effect that the applicants were on bail during trial & pendency of appeal and presently, they are behind the bars. Counsel also submits that the learned Trial Court has not appreciated the facts & circumstances of the case holistically and the hearing of the revision petitions will take its own time, hence, the sentence awarded to the applicant- petitioners may be suspended during the pendency of the revision petitions. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer regarding suspension of sentence.
