Learned counsel for the applicants/appellants have argued
that the learned trial court has grossly erred in convicting and
sentencing the applicants/appellants vide impugned judgment. It
is submitted that the allegation against the applicants/appellants
is to the effect that they impersonated complainant Lachchhi Ram
and sold his land without any authority while committing forgery.
It is argued that the complainant Lachchhi Ram has not been

statement of the other prosecution witnessess as well as on the
basis of the FSL report, which is not conclusive, have convicted
and sentenced the accused applicants/appellants. It is also
submitted that the applicants/appellants were on bail during trial
and they have not misused the benefit of bail. It is also submitted
that there is not likelihood that the appeals preferred by the
appella
