This is an application for condonation of delay of 521 days in seeking leave to file an appeal against acquittal of the respondent ordered by the learned JMFC, Indapur.

Though the learned counsel for the respondent has a very strong objection, for the reasons mentioned in the application, Criminal Application is allowed. Delay is condoned. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
