K. S. LODHA, J. - (1.) THIS is a second application for bail and suspension of sentence on behalf of the appellant Bhagu Ram alias Bhagaram. An alternative prayer has also been made for temporary bail on the ground that the 'mukalava' ceremony of the two daughters of the appellant, namely, Mohani and Patasi is going to be performed on May 13, 1988 and on that occasion his presence should be necessary.
(2.) SO far as the question of suspension of sentence till the pendency of the appeal is concerned, his application had already been rejected earlier on July 23, 1987 and we do not find any fresh ground for such suspension. However, looking to the fact that the 'mukalava' ceremonies of the two daughters of the appellant are going to be performed on May 13, 1988, we are inclined to grant him temporary bail. We, therefore, direct that the appellant Bhaguram alias Bhagaram shall be released on bail upto May 19, 1988 on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties in the sum of Rs. 5000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each to the setisfaction of the learned Sessions Judge, Merta with an undertaking that he will surrender himself on May 20, 1988. .;
