1. These three appeals are directed against the judgment dated 13th November 2017 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge (Central), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi (‘trial Court’) in Sessions Case No.27963/2016 arising out of FIR No.34/2003 registered at PS Ashok Vihar convicting the Appellants, viz.

Additionally, A-1 and A-2 were held guilty of the offence punishable under Section 411 IPC. A-1 was also held guilty of the offences punishable under Sections 420, 468, and 471 IPC.
