Sunil Dattatrya Shinde .. Respondents Mrs.M.H.Mhatre, A.P.P.for the State. Mr.Prakash Naik for Respondent. CORAM : A.R.JOSHI, J. DATED : APRIL 21st , 2009. P.C. Heard rival submissions for some time. 2. It is the application for condonation of delay by State in preferring an Appeal against the order of acquittal of the accused for the offence punishable under section 7 and 13(1)(d) read with section 3(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Though, in the 1 application, it is mentioned that delay of only 32 days, it appears that there is a systemic delay in applying for certified copy and in getting the approval from the Law and Judiciary Department and then, to prepare the Appeal Memo alongwith the leave to appeal and delay condonation of application. Considering the circumstances, delay is condoned. 3. In view of the above, delay condonation application is allowed and accordingly disposed of. 4. Upon request on behalf of learned A.P.P. for the State, application for leave to appeal is adjourned for one week. (A.R. JOSHI, J.) 2
