Interlocutory order bar under criminal procedure law prevents revision against refusal of suspension of sentence and bail.

An order refusing suspension of sentence and bail pending appeal is interlocutory in character because it does not finally determine the parties' rights. As Section 397(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure bars revision against interlocutory orders, a criminal revision is not maintainable against such an order. The challenge to the dismissal of the suspension of sentence and bail application therefore failed, and the petitioners were left to pursue any other remedy available in law.

Issues: Whether an order dismissing an application for suspension of sentence and bail is an interlocutory order and, if so, whether a criminal revision is maintainable against it in view of the bar under Section 397(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Analysis: The order challenged was one refusing suspension of sentence and bail pending appeal. Such an order does not finally determine the rights of the parties and is only of an interim character. Since Section 397(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure bars revision against interlocutory orders, the revision could not be entertained. The petitioners were left to pursue any other remedy available in law.

Conclusion: The revision was not maintainable and the challenge to the dismissal of the suspension of sentence and bail application failed.
