    comprises of his father (aged 52 years), mother and one unmarried brother.
    It is also stated that his father is engaged in selling utensils in the village and
    the family is living in the said village since 1990.

    4. In view of the above, this Court considers it apposite to allow the


    present application and suspend the sentence till disposal of the above-
    captioned appeal.

    5. The petitioner shall be released on furnishing of a personal bond in


    the sum of ₹20,000/- with one surety of an equivalent amount to the
    satisfaction of the Jail Superintendent. The petitioner shall also ensure that
    his correct address is provided to the Jail Authorities. He shall also provide
    his contact number(s) which shall be operational at all times so as to ensure
    that the authorities can contact the petitioner as and when required. The
    applicant shall also ensure that he is present in Court on the date of hearing
    as and when fixed. The petitioner shall also not leave the country. The
    application is allowed in the aforesaid terms.
