Sir/Madam,

Once you file an appeal against conviction in the appellate court you are legally entitled to move suspension of sentence under the section 389(1) CriminaL Procedure code. No seperate judement of tghe high court or the supreme court is required.Why didn't you consult your lawyer?

Positive, you can opt for the same. Condut of the accused/ convict was good, and going by the age factor, by all means she can get a positive nod.
