Leave granted.
It is submitted in challenge to the impugned judgment and order Signature Not Verified dated 13.06.2017 that so far as the present appeal is Digitally signed by Rajni Mukhi Date: 2022.03.28 concerned, 17:53:22 IST Reason: the case had been based on rather incoherent circumstantial evidence on which, the only conclusion of guilt of the appellant could not have been reached. It is further submitted 2 that in any case, looking to the nature of allegations, which are predominantly directed against accused No. 1 (father of the appellant), the appellant could not have been held guilty of abatement of killing of his own mother. It is submitted that the story of the prosecution carries inherent improbabilities when it is alleged that the accused No. 1 was having illicit relations with the wife of the present appellant and the appellant abated killing of his own mother by his own father (accused No. 1). Having regard to the circumstances of the case, it appears just and appropriate and hence ordered that further execution of the sentence awarded to the appellant shall remain suspended until final disposal of this appeal; and he may be released on bail on such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Trial Court.
