4.The learned counsel for the Petitioner would draw my attention to the evidence of injured persons, who were examined as PW6 & PW7 and also draw my attention to Ex.P.3/rough sketch, which was drawn by the Investigating Officer and evidence of Investigating Officer/PW12. He would further submit that with regard to the scene of occurrence there is malpractice. Hence he would pray for suspension of the substantial sentence. 5.The learned Government Advocate has raised objections for suspending the sentence on the ground that there is concurrent finding. 6.Taking into consideration the submissions made by the learned counsel for the Petitioner, I find that there are arguable points available in the Revision and hence, I am inclined to suspend substantive sentences of 2/4

imprisonment alone on certain conditions.

7.Accordingly, till the disposal of the Revision, the substantive sentences of imprisonment alone is suspended, on the following conditions:- i. The Petitioner shall execute separate bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties, each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate Court II at Krishnagiri, within fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
