CORAM: BILAL NAZKI AND A.R.JOSHI,JJ DATED : 29TH AUGUST,2009 P.C.:- Heard the learned counsel for the parties. Delay in filing of this appeal is four years since the accused has been in jail all along. During the trial also he has been in jail and there is not a sufficient mechanism in place by which a person could file an appeal from jail. Therefore, after hearing the learned counsel for the parties, we condone the delay. The accused is in jail from 2004 and he was convicted in 2005. Therefore, this appeal is treated as appeal filed in 2005 so that it is disposed of early. Appeal is admitted. Call for R and P. Application No.930 of 2009 is disposed of.
