In Brief
The appellant challenged the High Court's dismissal of his application to suspend his conviction pending the outcome of his appeal before the High Court. The Supreme Court considered whether a conviction can be suspended during the pendency of an appeal. Finding merit in the appellant's plea and the grounds stated in the Special Leave Petition, the Court held that the conviction should be suspended while the appeal remains pending before the High Court. The Court set aside the High Court's order and allowed the appeal on the issue of suspension of conviction.
