O R D E R
Leave granted.
The appellant has been charged and convicted for
the offences punishable under Section 307 of the
Indian Penal Code along with offences punishable
under Sections 186, 332, 353, 307 read with Section
34 of IPC and Sections 25, 54 & 59 of the Arms Act,
1959 and was sentenced for a period of 10 years. Out
of the said 10 years, the appellant has undergone 6
years of sentence. However, by the impugned judgment
his request for suspension of sentence was rejected.
Taking into consideration the relevant provision
contained under Section 479 of the Bhartiya Nagarik
Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, we are inclined to set aside
the impugned judgment.
Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and
the sentence of the appellant is suspended on such
terms and conditions to the satisfaction of the Trial
Court.
