Heard. 2. There is delay of 16 days in filing of the application and appeal. 3. The delay is attributed to official difficulties which are explained in para Nos.2 and 3 of the application. It appears that the proposal was scrutinised by the law and Judiciary Department and thereafter was sent to the office of the Public Prosecutor, High Court of Bombay, Bench at Aurangabad, on 13.2.2009. The time was consumed in drafting of the appeal and completing the formalities required. Consequently, I deem it proper to accept the explanation and condone the delay. The delay is condoned. The application is allowed. 4. The appeal is against the judgment of acquittal rendered in Sessions Case No.207/2006.
