The present application is filed by the

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner/
appellant/Accused No.1 contends that immediately
after pronouncement of judgment, the
petitioner/appellant/Accused No.1 was taken into

Prison, Nellore. He further contends that the
petitioner/appellant/Accused No.1 has already served
five (05) years of actual sentence. The learned

of the order dated 02.11.2016 passed by the

imprisonment imposed by the learned Sessions Judge
pending the present Criminal Appeal.
