State of Maharashtra ..

Respondents Mr. Sagar Tambe i/b. Ritesh Thobde for appellant Mrs. M.H.Mhatre, APP for State.

CORAM : B.R. GAVAI & B.P.COLABAWALLA, JJ DATE : 20th February 2018 P.C.:

1.

This is an appeal for suspension of sentence and grant of bail. 2] The appellant has been convicted for offences under section 452 and sentenced to suffer simple imprisonment for three years and to pay fine of Rs.2000/-. Since the appellant is also convicted for the offences punishable under Atrocities Act, the matter is before the Division Bench.

3] Taking into consideration the fact that the appellant is sentenced to suffer S.I. for three years, we are inclined to allow the appeal. The order of sentence is suspended and the appellant is directed to be released on bail on the same terms and conditions as were made applicable during the trial.
