1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET APPELLATE SIDE Criminal Application No.986 of 2007 In Criminal Appeal No.805 of 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------ Office Notes, Office Memoranda Court’s or Judge’s orders of Coram, appearance, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders ------------------------------------------------------------ Mr.Shrishail Sakhare for applicants. Mr.D.P.Adsule, APP for State. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE,J. August 31, 2007. P.C. . Heard Mr.Sakhare, the learned counsel for the applicants. This is an application for condonation of delay in filing Criminal Appeal No.805 of 2007. . As per the office note the appeal is beyond time by one year three months and 14 days. In support of the prayer for condonation of delay it has been stated that though copy of the judgment was received on the day it was delivered, the applicants being illiterate persons and suffering from poverty could not appoint an Advocate to proceed for filing an appeal. In the month of July 2007 a 2 co-prisoner advised the applicants about their right of appeal even belatedly and consequently the applicants contacted their friend Shri Kharge residing at Mumbai. With the help of Shri Kharge they could engage an Advocate and take steps to file appeal. . I am satisfied that good and sufficient reasons have been made out to condone the delay caused in filing the appeal and hence the application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a).
