ORDER
This
bail
application
is
filed
on
the
background
that
the
appellant/accused has been convicted by the learned trial Court by its
judgment and order dated 26/02/2024.

The appellant/accused has
been convicted for the offence punishable under sections 354 and
­2­
BA 674/24 in CA 184/24
354(A) of the Indian Penal Code. For the offence punishable under
section 354 of the IPC, the accused is sentenced to suffer Rigorous
Imprisonment for two years and directed to pay fine of Rs.1,000/­, and
in default of payment of fine, he shall suffer Simple Imprisonment for
15 days. For the offence punishable under section 354(A) of the IPC, he
is sentenced to suffer Rigorous Imprisonment for six months and
directed to pay fine of Rs.500/­, and in default of payment of fine, he
shall suffer Simple Imprisonment for 8 days.
2.

The learned A.P.P. has opposed the application by
submitting that the offence is serious and there is possibility of
absconding of the appellant. However, as the appellant/accused was on
bail during the period of trial and as the appellant/accused has
challenged the legality and propriety of the judgment of conviction and
the sentence imposed by filing the appeal, and considering the same, as
the substantive sentence has been suspended, I am of the view that the
appellant/accused can be released on bail. In the result, I proceed to
pass the following order :­
