PER COURT :

Heard.

2.

The applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under Sections 324, 323, 337, 354-D, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and sentenced to various terms of sentences. The maximum sentence imposed upon the applicant is rigorous imprisonment for one year with fine of Rs.2000/-, in default to suffer S.I. for one month. 3.

Considering it to be a short term sentence, and

Cri. Appln. No.1594/2022 :: 2 ::

the fact that the appeal is not likely to come up for final hearing in near future, I am inclined to allow the application. Hence the order :

O R D E R

(i) The application is allowed. Pending the appeal, the substantive sentences imposed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ahmednagar, by judgment and order dated 11/4/2022, passed in Special Case No.272/2019 is suspended and the applicant shall be released on bail on his executing P.R. bond in the sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand) with one surety in the like amount.
