A person convicted and sentenced to jail in India appealed to the High Court, seeking bail and suspension of the sentence. The court granted bail immediately and scheduled the next hearing after 30 days to address remaining issues. On the next hearing date, the High Court also ordered a suspension of the sentence until the appeal was decided. No further orders were passed. Does this mean the conviction itself has also been stayed? Please explain your understanding.

No, the conviction itself has not been stayed. The High Court’s order only suspends the sentence, meaning the person is temporarily released from jail while the appeal is pending. The conviction remains valid until the appeal is decided and the High Court issues a final order.
