Mr Aniruddha Choubey, Adv. for applicant Mr C.N.Adgokar, APP for Respondent CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : 17 th September, 2010. By this application, the widow of deceased Chantamani Pande and her family members have filed this applications to continue the appeal on the ground that they are interested to remove the personal stigma which was attributed to the deceased-appellant as a result of conviction by the impugned judgment and order. According to applicant after death of applicant, there were nobody to look after the legal heirs of deceased appellant and the counsel who had represented the appellant in the appeal, did not inform them properly. Learned APP opposed the application on the ground that reasons are not trustworthy and reliable explanation is not forthcoming. I think considering the intention of the applicant to remove stigma attributed to deceased Chitnamani Pande, the appeal may be decided on merits and, therefore, delay may be condoned. Hence Criminal Application is allowed as prayed for. 2 CRI.APPLN. NO. 639/2010 Learned Advocate for the applicant prayed for early hearing of the Criminal Appeal, preferably by fixed date.
