Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appellant's appeal against the High Court's refusal to suspend the sentence during the pendency of the criminal appeal. The Court emphasized the principle of parity, noting that co-accused had their sentences suspended, and thus ordered the appellant's release on bail upon depositing the fine and providing a personal bond. The Court mandated the appellant to appear before the High Court monthly, ensuring compliance with the bail conditions.
