Reason:
1.The present Special Leave Petition calls in question
the correctness of the judgment and order dated
211.11.2025 in SBCRMA for Suspension of Sentence
No.2385/2024 in SBCRLA No.245/2023 passed by the High
Court of Judicature for Rajasthan at Jaipur.
2. The High Court refused to suspend the sentence of
the petitioner pending trial. The petitioner was
convicted by the Special Judge, Ajmer, Rajasthan in
Sessions Case No.12/2022 for the offences punishable
under Sections 450 and 456 of the Indian Penal Code and
Sections 5(L)/6 and 3/4 of the Protection of Children
from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (for short, ‘POCSO Act’)
and sentenced to various period of imprisonment, the
highest of there being 20 years under Sections 5(L)
read with 6 of the POCSO Act. The petitioner has
undergone five years of the imprisonment.
3. With the assistance of the learned counsel for the
parties, we have seen the depositions in vernacular of
the prosecutrix. We are not venturing to elaborate on
the merits of the same lest it prejudice to the hearing
of the appeal. At this stage, we are prima facie
satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for
suspension of sentence and grant of bail pending the
hearing of his criminal appeal by the High Court.
4. Accordingly, we direct that pending the hearing of
S.B.Criminal Appeal No.245/2023 by the High Court of
Judicature for Rajasthan at Jaipur, the sentence of the
petitioner shall be suspended and the petitioner shall
be enlarged on bail subject to such terms and
3
conditions that may be imposed by the concerned Trial
Court.
5. The Special Leave Petition is disposed of in the
above terms.
6. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand
disposed of.
