Signature Not Verified itu Additional Sessions Judge dismissed the same on 6th February, 2010. However he has no explanation to render for the period of delay thereafter. The order of learned Additional Sessions Judge was passed on 6th February, 2010 whereas the present leave to appeal has been filed on 19m April,20II. Thus there is a delay of more than 14 months in filing the present leave petition even after the dismissal of the revision petition. The application for delay is totally bereft of the facts as to the reasons for delay thereafter. The only thing which is stated is that the Petitioner was busy due to business tour and lastly on 25th Decernber,2010 the Petitioner contacted his counsel and the counsel advised the Petitioner to file the appeal against the order dated 26rh May,2007. Even after contacting the counsel on 25th December, 2010 this leave to appeal petition has been filed after nearly four months, that is, on 19th April, 20L0. I find no reason to condon the delay. Application is dismissed. CRL.L.P. 19412011 Since the delay has not been condoned, the leave to appeal petition is dismissed. Wrc- " MUKTA GUPTA, J. MAY 04,2011 vn CRL.L.P. 194/2011 Page 2 of 2
