1 A IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.524 OF 2008 IN CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3108 OF 2008 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. OF 2008 Sudarshan Industries, Musalgaon .. Applicant V/s. Bhaskarrao Madhavrao Wagh & Anr. .. Respondent Ms.Bhakti Deshpande for the applicant. Mr.S.M.Sabrad for Respondent No.1. Mr.A.S.Shitole, A.P.P.for the State. CORAM : A.R.JOSHI, J. DATED : JULY 6th , 2009. P.C. Heard rival submissions for some time on this application of condonation of delay for one month and 8 days in filing the appeal alongwith the petition to challenge the order of acquittal of Respondent No.1 in the matter of offence punishable under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. 2 2. It appears that said delay is caused for engaging the lawyer of Mumbai to prefer an appeal as allegedly the lawyer from Nashik refused to take up the work. Considering the delay of only 108 days and considering that it is a case of dishonour of cheque of Rs.5 lakhs and odd, present application for condonation of delay is allowed. 3. Leave petition is adjourned for two weeks. 4. With these directions, the delay condonation application is disposed of. (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
