ANGANA vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court addressed the application for suspension of sentence under Section 389 Cr.P.C. filed by the accused/appellants, who were sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment. The Court held that the High Court erred in denying bail, emphasizing that the appellants had already served a significant portion of their sentence and were on bail during the trial. The Court noted that the injuries to the complainant were not grievous and that the appellants acted in private defense, leading to the conclusion that the suspension of sentence should be granted pending appeal.
