CORAM

:

A. M. BADAR, J.

DATE :

15th OCTOBER 2018 P.C. :

The learned counsel for the applicants/accused submits that early hearing of the subject appeal is necessary because conviction is recorded on the basis of arithmetical error. I have considered the submission so advanced. The applicants/accused are already on bail. In view of the judgment avk 1/2

39-APPA-982-2018.doc of the Honourable Supreme Court in the matter of Hussain and Another vs. Union of India 1 and as several appeals in which the appellants have already undergone jail sentence of more than 5 years are pending before this court, no early hearing can be granted.

The application is therefore rejected.
