Mr.S.D.Kaldate, learned A.P.P. for respondent State (CORAM : P.V.HARDAS, AND A.V.POTDAR, J.J.) DATE : 04/07/2011 PER COURT : 1. This is an application by the applicant for suspension of the substantive sentence of imprisonment and her enlargement on bail pending the decision of the appeal. The applicant is alleged to have killed her husband deceased Sheshrao in the afternoon of 15/09/2008. 2. The entire case rests on circumstantial evidence and the Trial Court at para no.25 has categorized various circumstances appearing against the present applicant. The Trial Court found that on the basis of the aforesaid evidence laid by the prosecution, the chain of circumstances had been established which exclude every hypothesis of the innocence of the accused and pointed to the guilt of 2 Criminal Appl.No.1507 of 2011 the accused. 3. We have heard Shri.Ladda, learned counsel for the applicant and Shri.Kaldate, learned A.P.P. for State. We have also perused the record and proceedings and upon such perusal, according to us, a strong prima facie case exists against the present applicant and therefore the applicant is not entitled for suspension of her sentence and her enlargement on bail during the pendancy of the appeal though the applicant was on bail during trial. 4. In such circumstances therefore, we are not inclined to grant the relief prayed for by the applicant. However, looking to the fact that the applicant is a lady, aged about 36 years, we direct the expeditious hearing of the appeal. Shri.Ladda learned counsel for the applicant states that the private paper book in accordance with the High Court Appellate Side Rules would be filed within 4 weeks from today. We, therefore, permit the appellant to file private paper book within 4 weeks from today and direct the Registry to list the appeal for final hearing after the paper book is filed. 5. Application is accordingly dismissed with the aforesaid directions. (A.V.POTDAR, J.) (P.V.HARDAS, J.) khs/JULY 2011/cri.appl.1507-11
