A.Dear client,
While an appeal is pending, the appellate court can suspend an accused's sentence, and the reasons for the suspension must be stated in writing. It can also order the accused's release if he is held in detention on bail and files his own personal bail bond.
In the context of an appeal, the High Court can exercise the authority conferred on an Appellate Court by this section.
If a convict informs the Court that he intends to appeal the judgment in which he was found guilty, the Court shall:
While on bail, if the person is sentenced to less than three years in jail, or
If a convict's sentence is suspended while he is on bail for a bailable offence, his sentence is presumed to be suspended unless there are extraordinary reasons for refusing bail.
If the appellant is ultimately sentenced to a period of imprisonment or life in prison, the time he is released will be deducted from the sentence.
