The learned Advocate for the Applicant submits that, the Applicant was on bail during the trial as well as during the Appeal period. The Applicant has not misused the liberty granted by the Trial Court as well as the Appellate Court. The learned Trial Court convicted the Applicant by the Judgment and Order dated 24.03.2022 passed in R.C.C. No.56/2013 for the offences punishable under Sections 324, 341, 504, 143, 148 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code (in short, 'I.P.C.') with fine.

2 of 3 praecipe-Cri.Revn.147.2026 Court) in Criminal Appeal No.30/2022 by the Judgment and order dated 07.05.2026.

4.

Considering the fact that, the Applicant was on bail during the Trial as well as during the pendency of Appeal, however, due to his absence, he was arrested on NBW and sent to the jail. Since then, he his behind the bars. The Applicant has undergone considerable part of his sentence. The present revision application is recent one and it would take considerable time to be decided finally. The Applicant has made out prima-facie case for suspension of his sentence during the pendency of this revision petition. Therefore, I am inclined to suspend the sentence awarded by the learned Trial Court and further upheld by the Appellate Court. Hence, the following order is passed.
