Hasn't Laid Down That Sentence Can Be Suspended Only If Half Term Is Undergone : Supreme Court
The Supreme Court clarified that it has not mandated that a sentence can only be suspended after half the term has been undergone. The clarification came after concerns were raised about the suspension of sentences under the Criminal Procedure Code. The court stated that each case should be evaluated on its own merits, and there is no blanket rule requiring a certain portion of the sentence to be served before suspension. The judgment aims to ensure a fair application of judicial discretion while considering sentence suspension requests.
