Section 389 CrPC | Age, Lack of CAF Evidence & Hostile Witnesses Justify Suspension of Life Sentence Pending Appeal : MP HC
Madhya Pradesh High Court suspends a 78-year-old appellant’s life sentence, emphasizing the absence of CAF reports linking the accused to the crime, hostile prosecution witnesses, and the appellant’s remote connection to the offense. The ruling sets a precedent for bail pending appeal where evidentiary gaps and procedural lapses undermine the prosecution’s case.
