S. 389 CrPC | Suspension Of Sentence Can't Be Denied Merely Because Another Trial Is Pending Against Accused : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court held that suspension of sentence under Section 389 of the CrPC cannot be denied merely because another trial is pending against the accused. The court emphasized that each trial is distinct, and pending proceedings should not affect the suspension of sentences from concluded trials. The ruling strengthens the rights of accused individuals to seek suspension of sentences in cases where they are undergoing multiple trials simultaneously.
