IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. APP (DB) No.1062 of 2009 JAI NANDAN PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 11.12.2009 This is a jail appeal. Vide office notes dated 10.12.2009 the office has raised objections on the maintainability of this appeal. It is pointed out that the appellant had earlier filed regular Cr. Appeal No. 295 of 2007(D.B.) on 2.3.2007 which was dismissed as barred by limitation vide this Court’s order dated 7. 3.2007. We have gone through the records and perused the Cr. Appeal No. 295 of 2007 (D.B.) It shows that the appellant had filed the appeal through his counsel Shri Harish Kumar, advocate with Vakalatnama but with a delay of three years eight months and 24 days and I.A. application was also filed for condonation of delay in the filing of that appeal. Vide this Court’s order dated 7.3.2007 this Court heard the matter and finding that the delay was not reasonably explained, it was not condoned and the appeal was dismissed as barred by limitation. We find that the said order dated 7.3.2007 as passed by this Court dismissing the appeal as barred by limitation has become final. Now, the appellant has again filed this appeal in the form of jail appeal with further delay of two years, nine months and five days. - 2 - Since the appeal already stands dismissed as barred by limitation vide this Court’s earlier order dated 7.3.2007 which has become final, we find no ground to entertain this appeal. This appeal is dismissed as not maintainable on account of the earlier order of dismissal passed by this Court. (C.M. Prasad, J.) (Dharnidhar Jha, J.) Ravi/-
