A court awarded five-year imprisonment to three Bangladeshi nationals for illegal stay in the country.
The court also imposed Rs 19,000 fine on them individually.
They were held guilt of living in the country by forging a visa and passport.
Pronouncing the judgment, Special Judge Sanjeev Kumar said if the convicts did not pay the fine, each would have to spend six months more in the jail.
The convicts -- Mohd Firdaus, Imran and Fariruddin -- were arrested from the Lucknow junction when they were trying to flee by the Amritsar-Hawarh Express in 2017.
