Heard Shri Thakur, learned counsel for the applicants (original accused Nos. 2, 3, 4 & 6) and Mrs. Wandile, learned APP for the respondent. By the judgment and order dated 19.07.2010, the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Nagpur in Sessions Trial No. 230 of 2008 convicted the applicants under Sections 148, 323 and 504 of Indian Penal Code. The original accused No. 1 – Swapnil was convicted under Section 302 of Indian Penal code. The learned counsel for the applicants submitted that the maximum sentence imposed upon the applicants is 18 months and the applicants have already undergone the sentence varying from 15 months to 3½ months. He submits that the appeal is not likely to be heard in near future. He has also pointed out that the 2 applicants were on bail during the trial and they have not misused the same. Both these statements are not controverted by the prosecution. Moreover, it is noticed that this Court by order dated 9th September 2010 suspended the sentence imposed upon the applicants and granted them bail for a period of two months. Looking to the above facts and circumstances, the prayer of the applicants for extension of order dated 9th September 2010 deserves to be granted. Hence, this application for extension of period of suspension of sentence and grant of bail is granted, till disposal of the appeal on the condition that the applicants shall report to Ranapratap Police Station, Nagpur, once in a month till the disposal of appeal. Application is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
