Samant, the learned counsel for the applicant. 2. This is an application for bail pending criminal appeal No.797 of 2007. The applicant has been convicted under sections 307, 504, 506 read with 34 I.P.C. and sentenced to suffer R.I. for two years on all counts and to pay a fine of Rs.2000/-. The learned counsel states that fine amount has already been deposited on 25.7.2007 with the trial court.

The learned advocate for the applicant states that the applicant is on bail as of today. I have perused the reasoning set out by the learned Ad-hoc Additional Sessions Judge in support of the order of conviction and I am satisfied that the applicant deserves to be released on bail. 4. Hence, the application is hereby allowed and it is directed to release the applicant on bail, if not required in any other case on same terms as before the trial court but on fresh bonds. (B.H.
