No. 1217 of 2010 has been filed for condoning the delay in filing this appeal. This Government Appeal is directed against the judgment and order of acquittal dated 17.11.2008 passed in Sessions Trial No. 444 of 2005 / 228 of 2009 by the learned 2nd Additional Sessions Judge, Gopalganj. Learned counsel for the appellant has pointed out that the learned trial court has considered extraneous circumstances in passing the order of acquittal. After perusal of the judgment and after hearing the submission, we are satisfied that the learned trial court has given cogent reasons for passing the impugned order of acquittal. The impugned judgment is correct and needs no interference of this Court. Accordingly, this government 2 appeal is dismissed. No order is required to be passed on limitation petition because the appeal has itself been dismissed on merit. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.) (Gopal Prasad, J.) avin
