1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Application No.295 of 2009 In Criminal Appeal No.804 of 2008 (Vasudeo Janrao Rathod v. The State of Maharashtra) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions : Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Shri N.A. Badar, Advocate for Applicant. Shri Anoop Parihar, APP for State. CORAM : R.C. Chavan, J. DATE : 6th March, 2009 1. This is an application for suspension of sentence again after withdrawing Criminal Application No.4188 of 2008 on 17-12-2008, when the appeal was admitted. 2. The applicant states that the sentence may be suspended for a period of three months, because his father Janrao Rathod died on 23-11-2008 and some important religious rites have to be performed. 3. Now when the application for suspension of sentence was first considered on 17-12-2008, almost a month was over after the death of Janrao. Therefore, no case is made out for release of the applicant on bail for the purpose of performing any religious rites. All the same, if any religious rites are to be performed, like immersion of ashes, as the learned counsel for the applicants states, that could be done in the maximum one week's time and that does not need three months' time. 2 4. In view of this, the applicant be released on bail for a period of seven days from the date he furnishes a PR bond of Rs.1 lac with two sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.1 lac on the undertaking that he shall provide the police administration as well as the jail administration of his proposed plan of stay in those seven days. 5. The application is disposed of. JUDGE pdl
