Having heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties and perused the records, we are of the view that the Trial Court as well as the High Court have recorded conviction of the appellants upon threadbare discussion of evidence and no interference by this Court is called for.
The appeals, accordingly, fail and the same are dismissed.
The bail bonds of the appellants, who are on bail, are cancelled and they are directed to be taken into custody forthwith to serve out the remaining period of sentence for which the matter shall be reported to this Court by the Trial Court within two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
