3.
The application is opposed by the learned APP on the ground that the trial Court has given cogent reasons while convicting the appellant.
4.
The appellant was on bail during the trial. There is nothing on record to indicate that the appellant has misused his liberty while on bail. Though the appeal is admitted, the appeal is not likely to be heard any time soon considering the pendency. In view of this, I am inclined to suspend the sentence.
5.
The sentence is accordingly suspended.
6.
The appellant be enlarged in Sessions Case No. 651 of 2018 arising out of C.R. no. 60 of 2017 registered with Alankar Police Station on the same bail as in trial Court with fresh bonds.
7.
The appellant shall report to the trial Court, once a year, first Monday of the concerned month, between 11.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. commencing April 2024.
8.
The application stands disposed of.
