                                      -.-.-.-.-.-.-

                   This is an application under section 426, Cr.P.C for suspension of the sentence awarded to the appellant in Case under section 13(d) Arms Ordinance. The appellant/accused was convicted and sentenced for five years by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kandhkot.

                   Learned advocate for the appellant submits that the sentence is short one. Hearing of the appeal will take some time. He has also pointed out that some infirmities in conducting the trial is committed by the trial Court during the proceedings of the case. The learned State Counsel recorded no objection.

                   In my view this is a fit case for suspension of the sentence for the reasons that sentence is short one. Hearing of the appeal will take some time. Some legal infirmities in conducting the trial have also been pointed out. Therefore, sentence is suspended subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.100000/- (Rupees one lac) and P.R bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of Additional Registrar of this Court.
