:1: IN IN IN THE THE THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.658 OF 2007 WITH CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3660 OF 2007 Sudhir S. Patil. ..Applicant. Vs. The State of Maharashtra and anr. ..Respondent. Mr. Harshad Bhadbhade for the Applicant. Mrs.A.A. Mane, APP. for the Respondent No.1. Mr.Subhash V. Kanse for the Respondent No.2. Coram : R.S. Mohite, J. Date : 09/9/2008. PC : 1. This is an application for condonation of 255 days delay in filing the application for grant of leave to file appeal. From the prima facie reading of the application, the ground which is given is false. The applicant has contended that the impugned order was passed on 27.11.2006 and the copy of the same was received by the Advocate on 6.12.2006. He claims that he obtained that copy when he visited Ratnagiri on 19.1.2007. 2. He then contended that the copy which he received together with all papers were lost and therefore, he had to re-apply for grant of certified copy and that he approached his Advocate only after the second certified copy was obtained. On perusal of the record however, indicates that he has annexed the first certified copy :2: which according to him he had lost. A glance of that certified copy indicates that the matter was decided on 27.11.2006 and the certified copy was applied on 6.12.2006 and the same was received by the complainant himself on 6.12.2006. Even the contention that the same was received by his Advocate does not appear to be true. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this application as the reason given is misleading and false. Application is therefore, dismissed. Consequently, the Criminal Application No.3660 of 2007 is also dismissed. Appeal papers to be filed. (R.S. MOHITE, J. ) :3: s
