M. Deshpande, Advocate for the Appellant. Mr. D.B. Patel, A.P.P.for the State. CORAM: K.J.ROHEE & C.L.PANGARKAR,JJ. DATED : November 28, 2006. 1. Heard counsel for the parties. 2. The appellant was convicted by judgment dated 4.1.1999 for the offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC and was sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life. 3. After 7 years and 8 months he has preferred the present appeal with an application for condonation of delay, the reasons for the same being that he is very poor and he had no knowledge that there was Legal Services Sub Committee of this Court which provides free legal aid to the convicts who are unable to engage services of a lawyer at their own costs. We are unable to accept this statement. We are aware that relevant provisions are made known to the convicts through various sources. It appears improbable that the 2 appellant would not come to know of the Legal Aid Committee and its working. We find that there is no sufficient cause for condoning the delay. The application for condonation of delay is, therefore, rejected. JUDGE JUDGE halwai.
