JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) WE have heard learned counsel for the parties at some length
on the question of suspension of remainder of the sentence awarded
to the appellants. It is common ground that the appellants were
about 20 years of age on the date of the incident which occurred
some 19 years ago. Appellant No.2-Bhithan Pasi is alleged to have
inflicted a knife injury measuring 1.5" x 3.4" inches on the
victim. The appellants have already undergone nearly 6 years of
imprisonment without remission out of the 10 years awarded to them
by the trial court under Section 326 of the I.P.C. The hearing of
the appeal is likely to take some time. In the circumstances we
deem it just and proper to direct suspension of the remainder of
the sentence awarded to the appellants. We accordingly direct that
in case the appellants furnish bail bonds in a sum of Rs.20,000/-
each with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of
the trial court, they shall be enlarged from custody pending the
disposal of this case.;
