IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Application [APPA] No.329/2011 [PRAKASH BALKRISHNA BENDE ..VS.. DILIP HARINARAYAN NIGAM] Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Mr. D.N. Dani , Advocate for the Applicant CORAM : U.V. BAKRE, J. DATED : 12.10.2011. Heard learned advocate Shri D.N. Dani for the applicant. The sole respondent is duly served with a notice of the present application, but is absent. There is no reply filed by the respondent, resisting the application. The applicant has stated that he has been fighting for his legal rights since 2006 and has been duped by the respondent and has been made to run from pillar to post for recovering the amount. The applicant has stated the reasons for delay in filing the appeal along with grant of leave to file the same. I find that the applicant will not gain anything by filing the appeal belatedly. I therefore, hold that the delay has been satisfactorily explained. In view of the above, the application for condonation of delay is allowed. Delay is condoned. JUDGE SMP
