April, 2026 passed by the High Court,
petitioners’ prayer for suspension of their
sentence is rejected and hearing of the
appeal is expedited.

request the High Court to make all possible
endeavour to decide the petitioners’ pending

appeal is not decided within six months from
today, this Court shall consider the
