IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-28464 of 2009 Date of decision : 12.11.2009 Subhash Chander ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ....Respondent **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. A.K.Khunger, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. B.B.S.Teji, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab S. D. ANAND, J. The petitioner-accused was charge sheeted by the learned Trial Magistrate, for the offences under Sections 465, 468 and 320 IPC vide order dated 3.1.2009. The petitioner filed a revision petition against that order after the period of limitation was over. Learned Sessions Judge, Ferozepur, declined to condone the delay by refraining from placing reliance upon the averments made in support of the application to the effect that the learned counsel had asked his Clerk to apply for the certified copy of the impugned order and that it came to his notice long thereafter that the Clerk had not applied for the certified copy. The least that could be done by the petitioner, in support of the application, was to place on record an affidavit filed by the learned District Court Counsel and/or his Clerk. It is only they who could own up the averred factual premise for the causing of delay. The petitioner did not take any steps to place their affidavits on record. I find myself in complete agreement with the line of reasoning adopted by the learned Additional Sessions Judge. Dismissed. November 12, 2009 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
