ANANT MANDAL Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) I.A. No. 7657 of 2016 :

(2.) Having heard counsel appearing for both sides and looking to the evidences on record, it appears that there is a prima-facie case against these applicants-appellants. As the criminal appeal is pending, we are not much inclined to analyse the evidences on record, but suffice it to say that P.W.13, who is the informant and eye-witness to the occurrence, has clearly narrated the role played by these two appellants. Moreover, looking to the evidences of P.W.1, 5 and 7, it appears that there is enough corroboration of the deposition given by P.W.13. Medical evidence is also corroborative of the depositions given by P.W.13. Moreover, previously also prayer for suspension of sentence was rejected by this court vide Order dated 17th Sept., 2012 and since then there is no change in circumstances except for passage of time. Paragraph 3,4 and 5 of the order dated 17th Sept., 2012 reads as under:

(3.) Counsel appearing for the applicants has submitted that Appellant No.1, viz. Anant Mandal is aged more than 70 years.
