The appellant also seeks suspension of the said sentence.

2. The appeal is admitted.

3. The appeal be listed in the regular list, in its own turn. CRL.M.(BAIL) 417/2026 (for suspension of sentence)

1. This is an application seeking suspension of sentence during the pendency of the captioned appeal, preferred against the conviction of the appellant in SC No. 143/2020 arising out of FIR No. 0207/2019 dated 14.11.2019, registered under Sections 3 and 4 of MCOCA, at Police Station Special Cell (SB). The appellant stands convicted by the impugned judgment for the offence punishable under Section 3(4) of MCOCA and, vide order on sentence dated 31.01.2026, has been sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of 7 years.

2. By order dated 25.03.2026, the hearing was adjourned to enable the appellant to deposit the fine amount imposed upon him. It is stated that, pursuant thereto, the said fine amount has since been duly deposited, and a receipt thereof has been placed on record.

3. Mr. Avi Kalra, learned counsel for the appellant, submits that the appellant has already undergone custody for a substantial period of over 6 years. He further relies upon the Nominal Roll, which reflects that as on 23.03.2026, the appellant had undergone sentence to the extent of 6 years and 13 days. It is accordingly submitted that, as on date, the appellant has undergone approximately 6 years and 2 months of custody, and that the remaining period of sentence is about 10 months out of the total sentence CRL.A. 198/2026 Page 2 of 5 This is a digitally signed order.

4. Mr. Yudhvir Singh Chauhan, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, submits that the appellant is facing trial in several other criminal cases as well and is in custody in some of them. He further draws attention to the fact that the appellant has received several jail punishments during the period of custody.

5. However, it is noted that although several jail punishments are reflected in the Nominal Roll, two of them pertain to a period prior to the appellant being taken into custody in connection with the present case, when he was apparently in custody in relation to a different matter. It is further noted that the Nominal Roll reflects that his conduct in the last one year has been satisfactory.

6. Having regard to the fact that the appellant has already undergone custody for a period of 6 years and 2 months out of the total sentence of 7 years, I am of the view that it would be appropriate to suspend the sentence during the pendency of the appeal. The appeal, having been instituted in the year 2026, is also not likely to be taken up for final disposal in the proximate future.

7. It is clarified that this order shall apply only in respect of the impugned conviction and sentence in the present case, and shall not enure to the benefit of the appellant in any other case, in the event the appellant is required to undergo custody therein.

8. For the aforesaid reasons, the sentence imposed upon the appellant by the impugned order on sentence dated 31.01.2026 in SC No. 143/2020 arising out of FIR No. 0207/2019 dated 14.11.2019, registered under Sections 3 and 4 of MCOCA, at Police Station Special Cell (SB), shall CRL.A. 198/2026 Page 3 of 5 This is a digitally signed order.
