In S.T.No.137 of 2003 (Crime No.230 of 2000), the appellants
Siya Ram and Kripa Ram alongwith one another namely Badlu have

them under Section 307/34 I.P.C. is ten years’ rigorous imprisonment
along with a fine of Rs.10,000/- and in default of payment of fine to

It has been contended by the learned counsel for the appellant
that the evidence adduced by the prosecution in support of his case is not
reliable one and the offence for which the appellant has been convicted is
not made out against the accused beyond reasonable doubt. That the
appellant has been falsely involved in the case and the learned trial court
has not properly appreciated the evidence available on record. That the
role of firing has been assigned to co-accused Badlu and the appellants
have been assigned the role of exhortation. That the appellants were on
bail during trial and there is nothing on record to show that they ever
misused the liberty of bail and the appellants have every hope of success
in appeal.

Bail has been opposed by learned A.G.A.
Having regard to the quantum of sentence, facts and

In S.T.No.513 of 2001 (case crime no.160 of 1999), appellant
Bandesh Singh has been convicted and sentenced for the offence
punishable under Sections 323/34, 325/34 and 504 I.P.C. The maximum
sentence awarded to him is three years’ simple imprisonment alongwith a
fine of Rs.1000/- and in default of payment of fine to further undergo two
months’ imprisonment.

It has been contended by the learned counsel for the appellant
that the evidence adduced by the prosecution in support of his case is not
reliable one and the offence for which the appellant has been convicted is
not made out against the accused beyond reasonable doubt. That the
appellant has been falsely involved in the case and the learned trial court
has not properly appreciated the evidence available on record and that
appellant was on bail during trial and the appellant has every hope of
success in appeal.

Bail has been opposed by learned A.G.A.
I have considered the respective submissions made by the
parties and perused the impugned judgment and order passed by the trial
court. The maximum sentence of imprisonment awarded to the appellant
is only three years. Hon’ble the Supreme Court in the case of Bhagwan
Rama Shinde Gosai Vs. State of Gujrat( 1999) 4 SCC 421 has held that
when a person is convicted and sentences to a short term imprisonment,
normal rule is that when his appeal is pending, sentence should be
suspended by enlarging appellant on bail and rejection can only be by
way of exception. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the
case, keeping in view the arguments put forward by the learned counsel
for the appellant, the probability factors of the evidence on record, term
of the imprisonment awarded, conduct of appellant when on bail during
the trial and the principles laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court in Case
Bhagwan Rama Shinde Gosai(supra), I am of the view that it is a fit case
for bail and suspension of sentence of imprisonment. Let appellant be
:2:
released on bail on furnishing a personal bond with two reliable sureties
each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the C.J.M. concerned on
deposit of amount of fine imposed on him by the trial court.

The sentence of imprisonment awarded to the appellant, shall

I have gone through the representation of the employee (Sarfraj
Ahmad,Stenographer,Bahraich Judgeship) dated 31.7.2007, the report of the
District Judge dated 24.9.2009 and the order of the Hon’ble High Court dated
21.4.2005, passed in W.P.No.5877(SS) of 1990.

The applicant joined the service on 1.10.1986 as a Stenographer in
Bahraich Judgeship. He was ceased from service from time to time, I.e,
1.5.1988 to 4.1.1989,1.2.1990 to 14.2.1990,17.2.1990 to 24.5.1990,1.5.1990 to
26.8.1990 and 2.7.1991 to 19.4. 1992, but by means of the W.P.No. 5877(SS)
of 1990 he challenged the order dated 1.6. 1990 ,ceasing him from services.
The said writ petition was allowed and the impugned order was quashed.

Consequent to the said order, passed in the writ petition, the applicant
shall be deemed to be in continuous service. The District Judge in his report
dated 24.9.2009 has reported that no departmental enquiry is pending against
the applicant. Nothing adverse has been reported by the District Judge against
the applicant.

In view of the above, the representation is allowed and the District
Judge, Bahraich is directed to pay salary of the period from 1.6.1990 to
26.8.1990 and 2.7.1991 to 19.4.1992 with all consequential benefits including

Heard.

Admit.

Summon the lower court record within three weeks and list
the appeal for hearing in due course.

Heard learned counsel for the appellants as well as learned
A.G.A. on the prayer for bail pending appeal and suspension of
sentence also. Perused the impugned judgment and order.

The accused-appellants Ashok Kumar Chaubey and Shiv
Kumar Chaubey have been convicted in Sessions Trial No. 78 of 2004
(Case Crime No. 50 of 1998) for the offence punishable under
Sections 323/34, 504, 506 (2)I.P.C. and under Section 3(1) (X) of SC &
ST Act, Police Station Motiganj, District Gonda . The maximum
sentence awarded to them under Section 3(1)(X) S.C. and S.T. Act
was one year’s rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs.5000/- on
each of them and in default of payment of fine to further undergo two
months’ imprisonment and all the substantive sentences were
directed to run concurrently. Accused-appellants were on bail during
trial and presently they are on interim bail. That there is nothing on
record to show that they ever misused the liberty of bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case in
view of the above and the term of imprisonment awarded, I am of the
opinion that the appellants can be released on bail. Let each of the
above appellants be released on bail during the pendency of appeal
on furnishing a personal bond with two sureties each in the like
amount to satisfaction of the court concerned provided they deposit
the fine imposed by the trial court.

The sentence of imprisonment awarded to the appellants, shall
remain suspended during the pendency of appeal.

Shri Ram Yadav and another.

…….Appellants
Vs.

State of Uttar Pradesh
…….Opp. Party

Hon’ble Vedpal,J.

Heard learned counsel for the appellants as well as learned
A.G.A. on the prayer for bail pending appeal and also perused the record
of the case.

In S.T.No.385 of 1993 (case crime no.555 of 1992), appellants
Shri Ram Yadav and Raj Kumar have been convicted for the offence
punishable under Section 412 I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo five years
rigorous imprisonment alongwith fine of Rs.3,000/- payable by each of
them and in default of payment of fine to further undergo six months
rigorous imprisonment.

As per prosecution version, accused appellant Shri Ram Yadav
was found in possession of 30 bags of sugar and appellant Raj Kumar was
found in possession of twenty five bags of sugar which was the property
in relation to which dacoity was committed by two persons namely Ishak
Ali @ Mama and Chand Babu. Learned counsel for the appellants
submits that there is no evidence against the appellants that they were in
knowledge of the fact that the property which was recovered from his
possession was property in relation to which dacoity was committed and
as such the offence does not fall within the purview of section 412 I.P.C.
but at the most it may be an offence under Section 411 I.P.C. Learned
counsel for the appellant in support of his submission relied on
Moinuddin Mozumdar Vs. State of Assam reported in AIR 1972 SC 655.
He further submits that the maximum sentence awarded to them is five
years’ rigorous imprisonment and that appellants were on bail during
trial and the trial was pending against them since 1992 and alleged
offence is not made out against the appellants and they have every hope
of success in appeal.

Bail has been opposed by learned A.G.A.
I have considered the respective submissions made by the
parties and perused the impugned judgment and order passed by the trial
court alongwith the record of the appeal. The maximum sentence of
imprisonment awarded to the appellants, is only five years. Hon’ble the
Supreme Court in the case of Bhagwan Rama Shinde Gosai Vs. State of
Gujrat( 1999) 4 SCC 421 has held that when a person is convicted and
sentences to a short term imprisonment, normally rule is that when his
appeal is pending, sentence should be suspended by enlarging appellants
on bail and rejection can only be by way of exception. In the present
case, the appellants are facing trial since last 18 years. Having regard to
the facts and circumstances of the case, keeping in view the arguments
put forward by the
parties probability factors of the evidence
on record, term of the imprisonment awarded, conduct of appellants
when on bail during the trial, I am of the view that it is a fit case for bail
and suspension of sentence of imprisonment. Let appellants be released
on bail on furnishing by each of them a personal bond with two reliable
sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the C.J.M./court
concerned on deposit of amount of fine imposed on them by the trial
court.

The sentence of imprisonment awarded to the appellants, shall
remain suspended during the pendency of appeal.

I have considered the respective submissions made by the parties and
perused the impugned judgment and order passed by the trial court
alongwith the record of the appeal. The maximum sentence of
imprisonment awarded to the appellants, is only five years. Hon’ble the

person is convicted and sentences to a short term imprisonment,
normally rule is that when his appeal is pending, sentence should be

evidence co-accused Ram Saran has also been acquitted against whom
the charge was for the offence punishable under Section 376 of the I.P.C.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, keeping
in view the arguments put forward by the parties, probability factors of
the evidence on record, term of the imprisonment awarded, conduct of
appellant when on bail during the trial and the principles laid down by
Hon’ble Supreme Court in Case Bhagwan Rama Shinde Gosai(supra), I
am of the view that it is a fit case for bail and suspension of sentence of
imprisonment. Let appellant be released on bail on furnishing a personal
bond with two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction
of the C.J.M./court concerned on deposit of amount of fine imposed on
him by the trial court.

The sentence of imprisonment awarded to the appellant, shall
remain suspended during the pendency of appeal.
