The application is contested by respondent no.2 by filing say and denying the matters stated in paragraph 3 of the application. Having regard to the matters stated in paragraph 3 which mainly pertains to the matters within the knowledge of the applicant, it is difficult to accept the submission that the said matters are not true. 2 Having regard to the same and having regard to the fact that the applicant has also filed/ earlier preferred Criminal Writ Petition challenging order of acquittal, the same shows that the applicant was trying to pursue remedy for redressal of his grievance. In view of the same for serving the ends of justice, the delay deserves to be condoned. The condoning the delay is unlikely to cause any prejudice to the applicant as he would be getting an opportunity to contest matter on merits. The application stands disposed of.
