THE COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING JUDGMENT:- No doubt, the appellants/petitioners have under gone a substantive sentence of 2 years 3 months, as per the report of the Superintendent of Jails, Central Prison at Rajahmundry. But, in view of the fact that they are sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of four years, I do not think that it is the stage at which this appeal can be disposed of, reducing the period to that of the period already undergone. The said request can be renewed after six months. Registry is directed to post this appeal in the month of April, 2006. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // for ASSISTANT REGISTRAR TO 1.
