And: The State of AP., rep. by PP, High Court of AP and another …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRL.R.C.MP.No.2552 of 2009 in CRL.R.C.(SR) NO.31988 of 2009, CRL.R.C.MP.No.2549 of 2009 in CRL.R.C.(SR) NO31991 of 2009, CRL.R.C.MP.No.2547 of 2009 in CRL.R.C.(SR) NO.31994 of 2009 & CRL.R.C.MP.NO.2555 OF 2009 CRL.R.C.No.1855 of 2009 COMMON ORDER: The petitioner/accused/appellant seeks condonation of delay in filing these revision petitions on the ground that the lower appellate court dismissed the appeals for default on 28.11.2006 and that until the petitioner was arrested on 23.10.2009 to serve sentence of imprisonment imposed by the trial court, the petitioner did not know about dismissal of the appeals for default. The petitioner throws blame on the Advocate in the lower appellate court to the effect that he did not inform date of hearing nor date of disposal of the appeal. Apart from duty of the Advocate to inform the party about dates of hearing and about results in the appeals, it is for the party to approach his Advocate periodically and note the above particulars. No doubt, there is laxity on the part of the petitioner in doing so. At the same time, the laxity costed him suffering imprisonment. Now the petitioner who approached this Court comes forward with an offer to deposit half of the cheque amounts in each case before the lower court as condition precedent for restoring the appeals. The said amount comes to Rs.1,40,000/- (i.e., Rs.35,000/- X 4 = Rs.1,40,000/-). In view of the said offer, this Court is inclined to condone the delay in filing the revision petition and to condone the default committed in the lower appellate court. The petitioner’s counsel prays sufficient time for making the deposit. The 2nd respondent’s counsel though initially opposed the offer, finally stated that it is left to the discretion of the Court. In the result, all the four Criminal R.C.M.Ps., are allowed condoning the delay in filing the Criminal Revision Cases and all the four Criminal Revision Cases are allowed setting aside the orders of dismissal passed by the lower court on condition of the petitioner depositing four crossed demand drafts for Rs.35,000/- (Rupees thirty five thousand only) each in the name of First Additional Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Warangal mentioning respective C.C.Nos. before the Registrar (Judicial) of this Court on or before 19.07.2010; and in default, all the above four Criminal R.C.M.Ps., and all the above four Criminal Revision Cases shall stand dismissed automatically. No extension of time will be granted. In case the above deposits of demand drafts are made, the Registrar (Judicial) is directed to send the demand drafts to the First Additional Judicial Magistrate, Warangal by registered post along with copy of this order, marking copies to the lower appellate court, in which event, the lower appellate court will restore all the four criminal appeals to its file and dispose of the same on merits after hearing both the counsel. _________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU,J.
