In Brief
The appellant challenged the High Court's refusal to suspend his sentence pending a criminal appeal, while sentences of three co-accused persons convicted in the same case had been suspended. The Supreme Court held that parity requires the appellant's sentence to be similarly suspended. The Court disposed of the appeal by granting bail subject to depositing the fine amount and furnishing a bond with sureties, with a direction to appear monthly before the High Court Registry.
