CORAM : S.R.DONGAONKAR, J DATED : 11 h MARCH, 2008. Heard Shri Abhijeet Sambaray, Advocate, for the applicant, Shri Thakare, A.P.P. for respondent No.1 State and Shri Amit Joshi, Advocate, for Respondent Nos. 2 to 10. This is an application for condonation of delay in preferring revision application to challenge the order of acquittal of Respondent Nos. 2 to 10 for the offence under Sections 498-A, 304-B, 201 r/w Section 34 of the I.P.C. The delay is stated to be of 322 days. The reason for delay is claimed to be the fact that the applicant was visiting the office of Government Pleader, Gadchiroli and making enquiry about the progress of the matter and lastly in the month of September, 2007, he came to know that the State has decided not to prefer an appeal against the judgment of the trial court and therefore, he filed this revision application. Learned A.P.P. has submitted that the State has decided not to challenge the order of acquittal passed in favour of Respondent Nos.2 to 10, as the State did not consider the said case fit for appeal. In this view of the matter, though the learned counsel for the respondent nos. 2 to 10 has raised an objection contending that the delay has not been satisfactorily explained, the delay is condoned. Application stands disposed of. List the revision application filed by the applicant for admission. Shri Thakare, A.P.P. waives notice for Respondent No.1. Shri Amit Joshi, Advocate, waives notice for Respondent Nos. 2 to 10. S.O. 27th March, 2008. Call R & P. JUDGE Rvj.
