1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Cr. Application No.758/2009 in Cr. Appeal No.415/2007 Krushnakumar Charandas Bawankar Vs. The State of Mah. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's order Judge's orders and Registrar's order ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Coram : A.P. Lavande & Prasanna B. Varale, JJ Dated : 22nd April, 2009. Heard Mr. Gandhi, learned counsel for the applicant. By this application, the appellant, who has been convicted for offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life and to pay fine of Rs. 1000/- seeks suspension of sentence and grant of bail. This Court by order dated 15.4.2008 rejected the application of the appellant seeking the same relief. According to Mr. Gandhi, the period of one year has expired after the order was passed by this Court rejecting the application for suspension of sentence and grant of bail and as such there is change in circumstance justifying filing of the present application. According to Mr. Gandhi, the appeal is not 2 likely come up for final hearing for a considerable length of time and, therefore, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. The application has been opposed by Mr. Doifode, learned APP on the ground that there is absolutely no change in the circumstances after the order dated 15.4.2008 has been passed by this Court. This Court by reasoned order dated 15.4.2008 dismissed the application for suspension of sentence and grant of bail to the applicant. Mere passage of one year period, by itself, would not be a ground to grant suspension of sentence and bail to the applicant. We are not inclined to grant the suspension of sentence and bail to the applicant, at this stage. There is absolutely no change in the circumstances after the order dated 15.4.2008 has been passed by this Court. Hence, the application is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE Ambulkar.
