There is a delay of three years and 148 days in preferring the appeal. The learned counsel points out that the appellant is a poor and was unable therefore, to approach the court. Apart from that our attention is also invited to the record and proceedings before the trial court where the accused was unrepresented. The accused was earlier represented by one Advocate Mishra who on the date of the trial was to start, submitted "no instruction pursis". The trial thereafter proceeded without the accused being given any legal aid. In the light of the above, delay condoned. (K.U.CHANDIWAL, J.) (K.U.CHANDIWAL, J.) (K.U.CHANDIWAL, J.) (F.I.REBELLO, J.)
