In Brief
Sucha Singh Langah appealed against the High Court of Punjab and Haryana's dismissal of his application for suspension of conviction pending the High Court's decision on his criminal appeal. The Supreme Court granted special leave and considered whether a conviction could be suspended during the pendency of a High Court appeal. The Court held that suspension of conviction was warranted in the circumstances and set aside the High Court's order denying the suspension. The appeal was allowed, and the conviction was suspended until the High Court's disposal of the criminal appeal.
