Appeal is admitted. 3. In so far as prayer for bail is concerned, as arguable questions are raised and appeal has been admitted and it is unlikely that appeal will be taken up for hearing in near future; coupled with the fact that the sentence imposed is short sentence of two years’ rigorous imprisonment; and as fine amount is already deposited by the appellant and that the appellant was on bail during the pendency of trial and there is nothing on record to show that he has misused the same, the prayer for suspending the 2 sentence and to release appellant on bail is granted. 4. Appellant is directed to be released on bail in respect of the present case on the same terms and conditions as obtained during the pendency of trial on executing fresh bond. 5. Counsel for the appellant submits that order of conviction passed against the appellant also be suspended and if necessary appellant will file separate application for the same. That prayer cannot be entertained in view of the Judgments of the Apex court in 2001(6) SCC 584 and 2004 Cri. L.J.919. Hence that prayer is rejected.
