Sadhana Jadhav, advocate for applicant and Smt. Y.M.Kshirsagar, A.P.P. for respondent. 2 This is an application preferred by the applicant (original accused no.1) seeking bail by suspending the substantive sentences inflicted upon him for the offences punishable under Section 498-A and 306 of the Indian Penal Code, by judgment and order dated 12.1.2011, rendered by the Additional Sessions Judge, Jalgaon, in Sessions Case No. 6 of 2009, pending hearing and final disposal of Criminal Appeal No. 76 of 2011. 2 crap683.11 3 It appears that Criminal Appeal No. 76 of 2011 preferred by the applicant/appellant has been admitted by this court on 17.2.2011. Moreover, it also appears that interim relief has been granted to the applicant in terms of prayer clause ‘B’ of the present application by this court by order dated 17.2.2011 and thereby the applicant was enlarged on bail by suspending the substantive sentences till today. 4 It is apparent that although the appeal has been admitted by this court as afore stated, it is not possible to take the said appeal for final hearing in near future. Moreover, it also appears that the substantive sentences inflicted upon the applicant are under Sections 498-A for three months and under Section 306 for four years and the said substantive sentences are of short term. Moreover, discretion has been exercised by this court by granting interim relief to the applicant in the present application by order dated 17.2.2011. Hence, present application deserves to be allowed. 5 In the result, present application is allowed and the order dated 17.2.2011 granting bail passed by this court and extension thereof dated 15.3.2011 stands confirmed, pending hearing and final disposal of Criminal Appeal No. 76 of 2011 and present application stands disposed of accordingly.
