<h1>Convicted Prisoner's Health Challenge Fails: HIV+ Status Insufficient to Suspend Sentence Under Rule 425</h1> <h3>Bhawani Singh Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through Pp</h3> Bhawani Singh Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through Pp - TMI The Rajasthan High Court, through Justices Manoj Kumar Garg and Rameshwar Vyas, rejected the appellant's fourth application for suspension of sentence on both merits and medical grounds. The appellant, suffering from HIV+ (AIDS) since 2008 and other ailments, sought suspension citing deteriorating health and reliance on the Supreme Court ruling in Shankar Khandelwal v. State of Rajasthan. However, the Court noted the third suspension application was dismissed on merits on 08.02.2021 after thorough consideration, including the appellant's involvement in 17 pending criminal cases and allegations of gunshot injuries. A recent medical report indicated the appellant's health had improved and did not show deterioration since the last application. The Court distinguished the cited Supreme Court case, where the accused required extensive care post-spine surgery, unlike the present case. Concluding that the appellant's condition was not worsening and considering the serious criminal background, the Court held: 'we are not inclined to suspend the sentence of the appellant,' thereby rejecting the application.
