The maximum sentence awarded to him is one year and six months and there is no likelihood of the revision being heard in the near future. Thus, without making any comments on the merits of the revision, the Court granted bail to Kamlesh Paswan and other convicted persons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that, as Kamlesh Paswan is a sitting M.P., and the impugned judgments and orders can cast a stigma upon his political career, as such they have serious consequences. The consequences are of unverifiable character. The Court after considering the above and relying on <i>Navjot Singh Sidhu<\/i> v. <i>State of Punjab<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/qB54cfVw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2007) 2 SCC 574<\/a>, held that the sentence awarded to Kamlesh Paswan shall remain stayed during the pendency of the revision. However, the fine awarded by the Court below must be deposited by each of the convicted persons within one month from today, failing which they will be taken into custody forthwith to serve out the sentence accorded to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Kamlesh Paswan v State of UP, <a
