Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the lower court's decision and ordering the appellants, who were on bail, to be taken into custody to serve the remainder of their sentence. The Court indicated that it found no grounds to interfere with the previous ruling. The judgment reinforces the principle that bail does not negate the obligation to serve a sentence once it is imposed.
