Judgment text as reported

TALIB HUSSAIN VS State Ss. 302, 324, 337-a(i), 337-F(vi), 337-L(1), 109, 148 & 149---Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898), S. 426---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, shajjah-i-khafifah, ghayr-jaifah-munaqqillah, punishment for other hurt, abetment, rioting armed with deadly weapon, unlawful assembly---Suspension of sentence---accused persons sought suspension of their sentences awarded to them under Ss. 302, 324, 337-a(i), 337-F(vi), 337-L(1), 109, 148 & 149, P.P.C. pending their appeal---as per record, it was observed in the first place that sentence awarded to present accused/ convict was short one and there was no likelihood of decision of the main appeal in near future---In case, the accused/ petitioner was not released on bail during the pendency of his appeal, there was every possibility that, before the decision of his appeal, he would have undergone his entire sentence---Furthermore, it would certainly be impossible to compensate the accused/petitioner for his detention in jail if ultimately he was acquitted after having served out his entire sentence---In the said circumstances, coupled with the principle of safe administration of justice, it seemed appropriate to order the release of accused/petitioner by way of suspension of his sentence---Petition of said accused was allowed, in circumstances.
