Jammu and Kashmir High Court<\/strong>: A Division Bench comprising of Gita Mittal, CJ and Tashi Rabstan, J. allowed an application whereby a suspension of sentence was prayed.<\/p>\n

The facts of the case are that the appellant was arrested in early 2005 and by the time the custody certificate was issued; the appellant had undergone actual incarceration of over 13 years and 5 months. It was found that the appellant was convicted under Section 302 RPC and was sentenced to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n

The High Court relied on the case of Akhtari Bi<\/em> v. State of M.P<\/em>., (2001) 4 SCC 355<\/a> where it was held that if the appeal is pending for five years and there is no chance of an appeal being heard in near future then in such a case the applicant\/appellant should be enlarged on bail.<\/p>\n

The application was thus allowed. [Darshan Lal v. State, 2018 SCC OnLine J&K 1011<\/b><\/a>, Order dated 27-12-2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
