IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 199/1998 The State of Maharashtra Vs. Shailendra Vishwanath Gupta -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : S.R.DONGAONKAR, J DATED : 31 st MARCH, 2008. Heard Shri Fulzele, A.P.P. for applicant State and Shri M.B.Naidu, Advocate, for respondent. Learned counsel for respondent has opposed this application saying that the delay is not satisfactorily explained. On perusal of the application, it appears that time was taken for taking opinion as to whether the appeal should be preferred or not. The appeal is against the acquittal, resulting out of compromise between the parties. The matter was debatable. Hence, delay in forming opinion as to whether appeal should be preferred or not is justified. In the circumstances, this application is allowed. The same stands disposed of. List the application for special leave to file appeal filed by the appellant as well as the appeal for admission on 28/4/2008. JUDGE Rvj.
