Summary
What is the reasoning behind the practice of suspending sentence of a convict, once he has served half of the sentence or 5 years imprisonment? Held- Convict cannot claim suspension of sentence as a matter of right. Appellate Court can take into consideration the criminal antecedents, the over-all behavior while in incarceration; whether conviction is under any special statute whereby power to grant bail is circumscribed etc. These principles are broad guidelines and not a straitjacket formula.
