C.B.I,New Delhi vs Roshan Lal Saini

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order to stay the conviction of the respondent, convicted under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and Section 120-B IPC, was unsustainable. The Court emphasized that the power to suspend a conviction should be exercised only in exceptional cases, as established in K.C. Sareen v. CBI, and found that the High Court failed to identify any exceptional circumstances justifying the stay. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinforcing the principle that the ramifications of suspending a conviction must be carefully considered.
