Undisputedly, the present applicants stand convicted for an offence punishable under section 324 read with sec. 149 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to R.I. for six months each and to pay fine of Rs.1,000/- each, in default of which to undergo further S.I. for fifteen days. Undisputedly also, the present applicants stand acquitted for offence punishable under section 302 read with sec. 149 of the Indian Penal Code. 2 Cri.Application No. 2333 of 2011 3. It appears that the present applicants were on bail during trial and there are no allegations against them that they had misused the discretion exercised by the Court in their favour in enlarging them on bail. The applicants stand convicted for a short term sentence of six months and it is not possible for us to decide the appeal of the present applicants within six months. In that light of the matter, therefore, we are inclined to allow this application. 4. Accordingly, this application is allowed and the substantive sentence of imprisonment against the present applicants stands suspended and the applicants are directed to be released on bail on each of the applicants executing a P.R. bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court, on the condition that the applicants shall attend Sengaon police station once in three months on first Saturday of the quarter, between 8.00 to 9.00 a.m. 5. Application allowed accordingly. (A.V. POTDAR, J.) ( P.V. HARDAS, J.) amj/criap2333.11
