Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals challenging the High Court's rejection of the appellant's request for suspension of sentence under Section 389 CrPC during the pendency of the appeal. The appellant was convicted under multiple sections including Section 120-B IPC, Section 409 IPC, Section 420 IPC, Section 468 IPC, and Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Court held that the High Court's decision was justified given the serious nature of the offences involving conspiracy, cheating, and forgery, and thus upheld the rejection of the suspension of sentence.
