The suspension of sentence is a different subject to that of the grant of bail. 

It's the duty of the court to scrutinize all the applications filed before it for confirmation of legal procedures being followed properly by the applicant before passing any order on the application. 

Also there is no such term called exparte order to grant suspense of sentence 

If application suffers legal issues then the court will reject the same. 

You ascertain what relief you expect from court in this regard and file petition accordingly.

Dear Client,

The court can issue notice to the surety if the accused is absconding when released on bail. The surety has to appear before the court. In case where the Accused does not appear before the Court when released on bail, the Court can come against the Surety only to the extent of the bail amount. in the high court, pp can file surety and bail bond forfeited application.

You cannot interfere in court procedures. 

If you are an aggrieved person then you can file a petition before concerned court expressing your grievances and seek for appropriate relief as per process of law.

- Since, the accused is not complying the direction of the court and absconding , then the court is bound to issue NBW against him and if no cancellation then he will be declare P.O. in the case. 

- Further, with the non complying the NBW direction , his surety bond can be forfeited after serving a notice to the surety . 

- Further , if court has not taken steps against him , then you can move an application before the court for forfeiting his surety bond. 

- Further, there is no direction of ex-parte order in the criminal case , and also in the conviction process such order cannot be passed.
