2. Heard Sri B. Balaji, learned counsel for revision petitioners as well as Sri M. Ramachandra Reddy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are in jail and they are unable to secure any counsel and they have not filed the appeal in time and the trial Court had erroneously convicted the petitioners. Therefore, he requested the Court to set aside the order of the trial Court.

4. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the revision petitioners and upon perusal of the material available on record, it is observed that the petition for condonation of delay has been filed by the petitioners for filing an appeal against the conviction order passed by the trial Court. The petitioners are presently in jail, which itself constitutes a sufficient cause for the delay. It is further contended that the trial Court has erroneously convicted the petitioners.

5. Accordingly, this Criminal Revision Case is disposed of by setting aside the order dated 12.02.2026 passed in Crl.M.P.No.457 of 2025 in Crl.A.S.R.No.937 of 2025 by the learned Principal Sessions Judge at Mahabubabad. The delay of 243 days in filing the appeal is hereby condoned. The trial Court is directed to register the said appeal and decide the same on merits in accordance with law.
