3. On a perusal of the impugned judgment, it reveals that the trial Court, on consideration of both oral and documentary evidence adduced by the prosecution, found the petitioner guilty of the offences under Sections 304(i), 307 and 309 IPC and sentenced him to undergo 10 years, 7 years and 3 months simple imprisonment respectively. It is established by the prosecution that the petitioner caused the death of his daughter and also he attempted to commit suicide. This is due to heavy debts incurred by the petitioner, which he was unable to repay the same. I do not find any ground to suspend the sentence. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.
