casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Shantanu Bhardwaj v. State of Chhattisgarh The Supreme Court allowed Shantanu Bhardwaj's appeal and set aside the High Court's refusal to suspend his sentence. Bhardwaj was convicted under Section 420 IPC for committing fraud of ₹8 lakhs in an employment scam and sentenced to three years' rigorous imprisonment. The Court suspended the sentence and released him on bail, considering his 16 months of incarceration and the likelihood of delayed revision proceedings before the High Court. The appellant must diligently pursue his revision petition; failure to appear may result in bail cancellation.
