Respondents Mr.Manoj Kadam for Applicant Ms.S.V.Sonavane APP for State Mr.Shrikant Yadav for Respt nos. 2, 3 & 4. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA, J DATE: 26 th August 2011 P.C. 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This is an Application for condonation of delay of 246 days in filing an Appeal against acquittal in a case under section 324, 504,506 read with section 34 IPC. The impugned judgment and order was passed on 30.12.2009. The Applicant filed an Application for certified - 2 - 5195 copy of that judgment on 27.7.2010 and received it on 3.8.2010. and then filed the Appeal on 18.11.2010. According to the Applicant because of paucity of funds he could not arrange for the Advocate and file an Appeal. However, it appears that he had taken more than six months even to make an application for certified copy of the judgment. The judgment is short running into 9 pages only and naturally it would not cost much. I do not find any valid explanation for delay in filing an Application. Therefore, in my view, delay in filing the Appeal is not satisfactorily explained. 3. In the result, Application stand rejected. J.H.BHATIA, J
