In view of the circumstances placed before us, the sentence of the appellant is suspended till July 4,&#8221; the bench said in its interim order.<\/p>\n<p>The convict is already on interim bail since March 24 on medical grounds.<\/p>\n<p>Bhagmal, through his counsel, had stated that he is suffering from enlarged prostrate for which he has to undergo surgery which would require stay in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Taking note of his medical condition, the bench extended his bail on furnishing of a personal bond of Rs 25,000 with one surety of the like amount.<\/p>\n<p>It directed Bhagmal to give the address at which he would be available and the mobile number on which he can be contacted by the CBI during the interim suspension of his sentence.<\/p>\n<p>The bench asked the convict not to get in touch with any witness or the legal heirs of the deceased.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In case, there is a violation of this condition, it will be open to the CBI to move an application for recall of this order,&#8221; it said, adding that Bhagmal shall not leave the National Capital Territory of Delhi without its permission.<\/p>\n<p>Bhagmal, former Congress councillor Balwan Khokhar, Girdhari Lal and two others were held guilty in a case relating to the murder of five members of a family in Raj Nagar area of Delhi Cantonment on November 1, 1984, after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.<\/p>\n<p>They had challenged their conviction and the sentence awarded by the trial court in May 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court had acquitted Congress leader Sajjan Kumar but awarded life term to Bhagmal, Khokhar and Girdhari Lal and three-year jail term to two others former MLA Mahender Yadav and Kishan Khokhar.<\/p>\n<p>The convicts have filed appeals before the High Court while CBI too has filed an appeal alleging that they were engaged in &#8220;a planned communal riot&#8221; and &#8220;religious cleansing&#8221;.
