CRL.M.(BAIL) 22/2026

1. The present application has been filed on behalf of the

appellant under Section 430 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, seeking interim suspension of sentence for a period of 30 days on the ground of the death anniversary of his father and mother coming up on 15.01.2026 and on 24.01.2026, respectively.

2. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has handed over

the Status Report, which refers to the statement made by the wife of the appellant/accused, who states that no arrangements have been made for observing the anniversary as stated in the application. My attention is also drawn to the criminal antecedents of the appellant/accused.

3. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the appellant/accused draws the attention of this Court to the earlier order of this Court, by which the sentence of the appellant-accused was suspended for a period of three weeks for the first death anniversary of the parents of the accused. He further submits that the appellant/accused had surrendered before the Jail authorities concerned promptly on expiry of the interim suspension of sentence.

4. Heard both sides.

5. In the light of the statement of the wife of appellant/accused to the effect that no arrangements have been made for observing the death anniversary of the parents of the accused, the grounds stated in the application seems to be incorrect/false. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to invoke its discretionary power for granting interim suspension of sentence.

6. Accordingly, the application, sans merit, is dismissed.
