At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioners does not challenge the conviction of the petitioners.

Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, while maintaining the conviction of the petitioners, the present petition is disposed of with the direction that petitioners be released on probation under Section 4(1) of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, for a period of five months on furnishing their personal bonds and undertaking with one surety each to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court that they will keep peace and be of good behaviour.
