Yes -2- 2. The learned Single Judge also noticed that Special Leave Petition (C) No(s). 1007 of 2024, titled as State of H.P. and others vs. Roop Lal, was pending and, therefore, a direction was given to consider the case subject to the outcome of the said judgment. 3. Counsel for the State has very fairly pointed out that the SLP in Roop Lal’s case (supra) has now been dismissed on 18.03.2025, and in view of the above, the State does not intend to press the present matter. Accordingly, the present application for condonation of delay, as well as the main appeal, are dismissed as not pressed. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (G.S.
