The present application is filed for condonatoin of delay of 271 days to prefer the appeal against the conviction. In para 6 and 7 of the application, learned counsel for applicant explained sufficient reasons to condone the delay which reads as under:- “6. That, due to the lack of availability of necessary documents at the time of the initial judgment/order, the applicant had to supply for certified copies of the judgment/order. The process of obtaining these certified copies of the Judgment/order, Depositions as well as the Chargesheet took its own time, which added further delay in being able to submit them to the counsel for the preparation of the appeal. 7. That additionally, it is apposite to mention that the applicant herein was only afforded the opportunity to disclose the pertinent details of 2 1 appa 465.25 the case to the Counsel during the period of his parole, i.e., f from 17.12.2024 to 08.01.2025, and prior to this period, the Applicant was unable to communicate or provide the necessary documentation or brief of the case, as his circumstances precluded such disclosure. Therefore, it was only upon his temporary release on parole that the Applicant herein was able to adequately brief Counsel regarding the facts, evidence, and intricacies of the case, and this period of parole was the sole occasion during which he was in a position to discuss and provide the relevant case materials, which were essential for the Counsel to properly prepare the present Appeal.” 3. Considering above facts and circumstances, we deem it fit to condone the delay of 271 days. 4. In view of above, application is allowed and disposed of. 5. The Registry is directed to register the appeal. CRIMINAL APPEAL (ST) NO. 4216/2025 1. Heard. 2. Admit. 3. Learned APP waives service of notice. 4.
