Being aggrieved by the said r:onviction andsentence, the petitioners/A2 and 43 have [preferred]Crt.A.No.266 of 7019, which came up before the lll AdditionalSessions Judge, Karimnagar.

The learnedlll AdditionaI Sessions Judge, Karimnagar, vide order, dated11.12.2019, dismissed the said apptication stating therein that"the [petitionerrs ]were atso imposed sentences in :,ix other cases and all the sentences were ordered to run concurrently.Therefore, in view of the fact that there are seven casesagainst the petitioners, in which they were convicted, theCourt is of the considered opinion that it is not proper torelease the petitioners on bai[" and according[y dismissed thesaid apptication.

Hefurther submits that the petitioners are in [jaiI ]since 10.06.2019and they have atready been served six months of imprisonment.lf the petitioners are not released they witt suffer irreparabteloss and injury.
Having regard to the fact that the petitionersareIanguishing in jait for the last six months; they have beenconvicted for the offence under Section 379 of l.P.C. andsentenced to undergo rigorous ['imprisonment ]for a [period ]of twoyears onty, the sentence of imprisonment imposed on the J
