Merits of the case against the applicants was already tested vide earlier order of this Court mentioned above. 3. The only submission canvassed before this Court on behalf of the applicants is that they had completed almost five years of imprisonment i.e. half of the total imprisonment. In the opinion of this Court, considering the gravity of the offence and considering that they are already convicted for the offence punishable under Sections 395 & 397 of IPC, involving the daylight robbery involving amount of more than Rs.13 lacs and electronic articles, it would not be in the fitness of the situation to enlarge them on bail. At the most appropriate directions can be sought from the concerned Court which is seized of the pending Criminal Appeal No.402 of 2009, for early hearing. 4. In the result, both the applications stand rejected and accordingly disposed of. (A.R. JOSHI, J.) PPD
