CrPC Section 389 | Bail Granted Pending Appeal Against Life Sentence for Murder in Unlawful Assembly Despite Conviction : MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court suspended the life sentence of an appellant convicted under Sections 302/149 IPC, finding a prima facie case of over-implication and reasonable prospects of success on appeal. This reinforces that suspension under CrPC 389 is not barred by the gravity of conviction alone, especially where evidence suggests misattribution of fatal injury to a co-accused and no direct link to the homicide.
