In Brief
A petitioner challenged the High Court's rejection of his application for suspension of sentence and sought interim bail on medical grounds. The Supreme Court clarified that observations made by the High Court in rejecting the suspension of sentence application were limited to that interlocutory order and would not prejudice the petitioner's rights in the substantive appeal. The Court granted interim bail for two months for medical treatment at a specified hospital in Thane, subject to the petitioner surrendering by 2 September 2019, and permitted him to apply for extension if medically necessary."
