https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299869 Section 397(1) CrPC empowers a revisional court to suspend execution of a sentence or order without first insisting that the accused surrender or undergo confinement. The provision treats an accused already in confinement differently from one at liberty: if confined, the court may direct release on bail pending examination of the record; if not confined, the court may still suspend the sentence directly. Applying that principle, the Madras High Court noted that the sentence for a Section 138 NI Act conviction could be suspended on terms pending revision, and interim suspension was granted accordingly. en-us Wed, 14 Jun 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 01 Jan 2022 16:53:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299869 Section 397(1) CrPC empowers a revisional court to suspend execution of a sentence or order without first insisting that the accused surrender or undergo confinement.
