This query is : Resolved
On conviction in trial court, on filing petition of suspension of sentence, the convict approached the appellate court at sessions division, and IF THE APPELLATE COURT CONFIRMS/MODIFIES AND CONVICTS THE APPELLANT, MY QUESTION IS - WHETHER SUCH APPELLATE COURT CAN GRANT SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE OR NOT? ARE THERE ANY JUDGEMENTS IN FAVOUR/AGAINST OF THIS GRANTING OF SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE BY SUCH APPELLATE COURT

Appellate Sessions court if dismisses the appeal or reduce the sentence etc. of the appellant/accused then it cannot suspend the sentence till the filing of the appeal before high court.

dont say that 389[3] is before trial court.. i knew that..
my question is if the sessions court confirmed the conviction mean the accused should be sent to prison immediately?
there is no option untill appeal before high court?

Tom, the accused have to take bail from the High Court.
The accused are not sent to jail unless certified copy of the order is received.

Thanks for giving suggestions for my question. But, my doubt is - though no appeal is not preferred immediately, the lower trial court is suspending the sentence U/s389(3) CrPC, on application that the convict prefer an appeal. As read in the said section, why it should not be applicable to the court of Sessions also. On filing suspension of sentence, why opportunity will not be granted to the appellate/convict to prefer 2nd appeal before the High Court. Is there any bar under the Code that the appellate court should not grant suspension of sentence on either confirming/modifying the sentence by convicting.
