JUDGMENT : IA No. 1/2018 1. It is contended that the applicant-appellant has filed the CRA No. 44/2016 challenging therein the judgment dated 30.08.2016 and order dated 31.08.2016 passed by learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Jammu whereby he was convicted under Section 471 RPC. This Court while issuing notice in the aforesaid appeal, vide order dated 07.09.2016 had suspended the sentence awarded to the applicant-appellant herein and also admitted him to bail subject to the following conditions:- (1) That he shall remain present before this Court on each and every date of hearing.

Now the present application has been moved by the applicant-appellant to seek permission to travel abroad (United States of America) for his medical check-up, as also to meet his children who are residing there. 3. It is contended that during the trial before the Court below, the applicant-appellant herein was permitted to proceed abroad for his medical checkup. It is further contended that the applicant is a law abiding citizen and shall abide all the terms and conditions to be put by this Court to permit him to go abroad. 4. On going through the contents of this application and after perusing the Annexures enclosed with it, it transpires that the appellant-applicant was earlier also granted permissions from the trial Court to visit USA to meet his children as also to have medical check-up and he had never flouted any such permission granted to him by the trial Court during the period of more than 12 years. It is quite evident from the documents attached with this application that all the times, appellant returned back before the expiry of stipulated period of time as granted by the Court below. 5. Despite notice having been issued in this application and several opportunities granted to file the response, respondent-State has chosen not to file the same, which indicates that they have no serious objection if this application is allowed. 6. 5.
