1 Cri.Appln.No.5464/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5464 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.930 OF 2006 Yellapa Maroti More ... APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & anr. ... RESPONDENTS ..... Shri V.S. Kadam, Advocate holding for Shri V.R. Dhorde, Advocate for the applicant Mrs. R.K. Ladda, A.P.P. for the respondents ..... CORAM : U.D. SALVI, J. DATED : 16th December, 2011. PER COURT : 1. Heard. Perused. Issue notice to respondents. Learned A.P.P. waives service of notice for the respondents. 2. This application has been moved for condonation of delay of 604 days in filing application for restoration of the Criminal Application No.930/1996, which was dismissed for default in removing the office objections as per the order dated 3.3.2010. It is the case of the applicant that the Criminal Misc. Application No. 930/1996 was filed for assailing the order passed by the learned 2 Cri.Appln.No.5464/2011 District Judge in Criminal Appeal preferred against the order passed by the Forest authority rejecting the applicant’s plea for return of goods – sandal wood; and on admission of the said Criminal Application on 12.7.1997, the applicant was directed to deposit an amount of Rs.3 Lakhs in this Court and accordingly, the said amount remained to be deposited till this date. Now, the applicant submits, the R.C.C. No.505/1993 in which the application for return of goods was made before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, has culminated in his acquittal on 24.2.1998 and the said order has been upheld in an appeal preferred by the State before this Court. According to the applicant, his acquittal kept him under a bonafide belief that it was not necessary to remove any further objections in the said Criminal Application and he remained ignorant about the same including the order dated 3.3.2010 passed by this Court; and for getting refund of the amount deposited by him in this Court, it is necessary that the Criminal Application is restored and, therefore, the present delay condonation application. 3. Considering these facts and circumstances, delay needs to be condoned. Delay is condoned. Criminal Application No.5464/2011 stands disposed off accordingly. ( U.D. SALVI, J. ) fmp/cri5464.11
