application for suspension of sentence can be considered in

exceptional circumstances pointed out by the learned A.P.P. to
refuse/decline the application. No breach of bail condition

sentence imposed upon the applicant dated 07.03.2018

bail pending hearing of the appeal on the same terms and
conditions as were imposed at the time of grant of regular bail
pending trial but, by furnishing fresh bail bond of Rs.20,000/-
