C. : Heard. MP 2 APPA1351_11 2. Applicant Sukhdeo Bhaurao Ohol was a Police Inspector and applicant Hemant Bansigir Gosavi was a Police Naik attached to Mira Road Police Station. They were trapped while accepting bribe of Rs.50,000/-, and after investigation, they were put to trial, they have been convicted and sentenced and their appeals are pending for final hearing. Through these applications, the applicants seek stay to the impugned judgment of conviction as against the execution of the sentence therein. The applicants are also granted bail pending the appeal. The purpose of these applications is that further departmental action should not be taken against them for dismissal from service. It is settled position of law that in corruption cases, the order of conviction and sentence cannot be and should not be suspended or stayed though the applicants may be granted bail pending appeals. I do not see any valid reason to stay the operation of the impugned judgment of conviction and sentence. Therefore, all these applications stand rejected. (J. H. BHATIA, J)
