IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO . 4866 OF 2024 (@ SLP(CRL.) No. 5611/2024)
MAYANK JAT APPELLANT(S)
VERSUS
STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH & ORS. RESPONDENT(S)
O R D E R
1. Leave granted.
2. The High Court in the impugned order was pleased to set
aside the suspension of sentence on the premise that the
learned counsel appearing for the appellant made a wrong
statement with respect to the recovery.
3. We are of the view that the cancellation of a bail stands
on a different footing. The appellant has been granted
bail by the order dated 21.12.2022 and an application
itself has been filed on 26.10.2023. The offence is also
one punishable under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code,
1860 along with the Arms Act, 1959. The appeal is of the
year 2022 and therefore, it is not likely to be taken up
soon.
4. Considering the above, we deem it appropriate to set aside
the impugned order by suspending sentence of the
appellant, subject to the terms and conditions that may be
2
imposed by the Trial Court.
5. The appeal is allowed accordingly.
6. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed
of.
