THREE men jailed for leaving a man unconscious after punching, kicking and stamping on him are set to appear at the UK’s highest court.
Yasir Mohammed, formerly of Monksfield Way, Slough, Haidar Anwar, and Rehman Anwar, both of Crayle Street, Slough, were sentenced to a total of 37 years in prison following a court hearing in June 2020.
All three were found guilty of grievous bodily harm by a jury.

But the trio are taking their case to the Court of Appeal at the Royal Courts of Justice -- the top courthouse in the land.
Rehman Anwar
They are set for a hearing on Tuesday, November 9, but it is not clear if they are appealing their sentences or their convictions.
The Court of Appeal has been contacted to clarify this issue but has not yet responded.
Their attack took place on Farnham Road, at around 2.45am on May 14, 2019.

Following a trial last year, Mohammed and Haider Anwar received jail sentences of 13 years each, with Rehman Anwar sentenced to 11 years behind bars.
Speaking in 2020, Detective Inspector Will Crowther, of Slough police station, said: “I am pleased with the sentences handed out, following this violent and appalling attack on the victim in a public area.
Yasir Mohammed
“The sentences reflect the seriousness with which the courts will deal with offenders who commit such violent crimes, and Thames Valley Police will actively pursue offenders who commit such offences.
“The investigation team worked tirelessly to bring all three men to court and to face justice. They are dangerous and violent offenders. I hope that they will now reflect upon their actions as they serve their sentences.
“I am pleased that they will not be able to bring further violence and harm to the community.”
