DATED : 09.12.2022.

1.

This is an application filed under Section 389(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure for suspension of sentence and grant of bail.

2.

The applicant was convicted for the offence punishable under Section 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay fine of Rs.3,000/-, in default to pay fine, further to suffer simple imprisonment for three months.

49apeal597-22.odt Penal Code and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay fine of Rs.500/-, in default to pay fine, further to suffer simple imprisonment for eight days.

4.

I have perused the findings recorded by the learned trial Court in the impugned judgment and order and thereupon, I am of the opinion that applicant is having arguable case and re-appreciation and reappraisal of the evidence is necessary in this case. There is no likelihood that this matter would come up for final hearing in near future. There is one more ground is that the applicant was on bail during the trial. Accordingly, I pass the following order:

i.

Criminal application is allowed.

ii.

The order dated 08.09.2022, suspending sentence, shall continue till disposal of the appeal. iii.

Bail as in the trial Court with fresh Bonds.
