Heard the learned advocate for the appellant.

As the
appellant was on bail during the period of trial, and as the

judgment of conviction by filing the appeal, and considering the same,
as the substantive sentence and direction to pay compensation have
been suspended, I am of the view that the appellant/accused No.1 can
be released on bail.

In the result, I proceed to pass the following
order :­
