1 (APPR 370 of 2010 in Rev(St) 542 of 2010) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 370 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL REVISION APPLICATION (ST) NO. 542OF 2010 Abdul Karim Suleman Mithaiwala and Anr. ...Applicants Vs. State of Maharashtra and ors. ...Respondents ----- Mr. Jafar Shaikh for Applicants Mr. Rajesh More -APP for the State Mr. Mubin Solkar for Respondent Nos. 2 to 4 ----- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED:7TH DECEMBER, 2010 P.C. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the Applicants, Respondent Nos.2 to 4 and the learned APP for the State. 2. This is an application for condonation of delay in filing the Criminal Revision Application. It is submitted that delay of 94 days was caused on account of financial constraints of the Applicants. 2 (APPR 370 of 2010 in Rev(St) 542 of 2010) 3. This is, however, vehemently opposed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent Nos.2 to 4. They have filed the affidavit in reply. It is submitted that the statement that the Applicants on account of financial constraints could not file the revision application in time, is totally incorrect. It is stated in the affidavit in reply that the Applicants have filed several cases in various Courts which itself is sufficient to show that the plea of financial constraints is false. 4. In my view, looking to the averments made in the application, sufficient cause has been shown for condonation of delay. Merely because the Applicants have filed several cases in various Courts, that does not mean that they are very affluent. Hence, delay caused in filing the criminal revision application is condoned. Criminal Application for condonation of delay is allowed and disposed of. (V.M. KANADE J.)
