He preferred an appeal against his conviction and sentence and also applied for suspension of his sentence. The last mentioned application was dismissed by the High Court vide the impugned order, dated 4‑11‑1984. Hence the present petition.
2. We issued notice to the‑State and have heard learned counsel for both sides. We notice that all the co‑accused who had been attributed injuries to the deceased and were convicted of the same offences as the both have been released on bail under section 426, Cr.P.C. but the petitioner's application for bail was rejected, on the ground that although he was not attributed any injury to the deceased yet he had been additionally convicted under section 307, P.P.C. for causing injuries to Alam Din P.
