ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble N.Anand Venkatesh J.) This petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking for suspension of sentence imposed in S.C.No.480 of 2022 dated 25.02.2025 passed by the learned V Additional District and Sessions Judge, Madurai and to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

2. Heard the learned counsel on either side.

3. This is the second petition filed by the petitioner seeking for suspension of sentence. The earlier petition filed in Crl.M.P.(MD).No. 8123 of 2025 came to be dismissed by an order dated 05.01.2025 as withdrawn. However, on going through the order, it is seen that the Court was not inclined to grant suspension of sentence and at that point of time, the petition was withdrawn. In view of the same, the same has to be construed as dismissed on merits.

4. Since we do not find any change in circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain this petition and accordingly, this petition stands dismissed.

5. Registry is directed to make the paper book ready and include this appeal for final hearing in the advance list. (N.ANAND VENKATESH J.)
