Shri K.K. Singh, G.A. for the State/Respondent. Heard on applications for suspension of sentence and grant of bail to the appellants filed in the aforesaid appeals. The appellants have been convicted under the impugned judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated 09.11.2017 passed by First Additional Session Judge, Durg, C.G. in Session Trial No.50/2014. Learned counsels for the appellants argued that the conviction of the appellants is based on evidence of prosecution witnesses Jaspal Singh (PW-06) and Rameshwar Mende (PW-10) whose statements under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C. have been recorded during the investigation after a long time. It is next submitted that PW-6 has not stated clearly regarding involvement of appellant Narendra Sahu in CRA No.1806/2017.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

Having considered the submission of learned counsel for the parties and further considering the evidence and material available on record, we are not inclined to allow the application for suspension of sentence and grant of bail. Accordingly, applications (IA No. 1/2017 and IA No.02/2018) filed in aforesaid appeals are rejected. At this stage, a prayer has been made by the counsels for the appellants to expedite the case for final hearing as the appellants are in jail since last more than 5 years.

Considering the same, we are inclined to expedite the hearing of the case and the appeal be listed for final hearing. Registry shall ensure preparation and supply of paper-books to the counsels for all the appellants in three appeals. Sd/- Sd/- (Manindra Mohan Shrivastava) (Rajani Dubey) Judge Judge yasmin
