(1.) AMAR Saran, J. The applicants-appellants have moved this application, for suspension of conviction, in the criminal appeal, wherein the appellants and others were convicted and sentenced inter alia to seven years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of rupees ten thousand-each under section 307ipc.

(2.) IT may be pointed out that earlier the appellants were enlarged on bail by my order dated 22. 3. 2006. At that time the sentence of the appellants was suspended, but no order had been passed suspending the conviction.

(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the appellants contends that an order or suspension of the conviction should invariably be passed and there is inherent power to stay the order of conviction under section 389 (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (hereinafter referred to as the Code ).
