Coram:

Hon’ble Mr. Justice B. Bhattacharjee, Judge

Appearance:

For the Petitioner/Appellant(s) : Mr. P. Dey, Adv

For the Respondent(s) : Mrs. N.G. Shylla, PP with
Mr. E.R. Chyne, GA

(ORAL)
Heard Mr. P. Dey, learned counsel appearing for the applicants as
well as Mrs. N.G. Shylla, learned PP appearing for the respondents.

By this application, the applicants have prayed for suspension of
the sentence imposed upon them by order dated 13.02.2025, consequent
to their conviction by the judgment and order of even date convicting the
applicants under Section 324/34/201 IPC. The materials on record reveal
that the applicants were initially charged under Section 326/34/201 IPC
and were made to face trial under the aforesaid sections of law. However,
by the judgment and order dated 13.02.2025, the applicants were
convicted under Section 324/34/201 IPC whereupon, a fine of Rs.7,000/-
for the offence under Section 324/34 IPC and Rs.3,000/- in respect of the
offence under Section 201 IPC were imposed stipulating that in the event
of default of payment, the applicants shall undergo simple imprisonment
for 2 months.

Considering the above aspect of the matter and that the applicants
have been sentenced to pay only the fine, it is deemed appropriate to
suspend the order and sentence dated 13.02.2025 passed in Sessions Case
No.16/2016 till the final disposal of the connected Crl.A.No.8 of 2025.

This application stands allowed.
