RAM LAL Versus NAGESH KUMAR AND ANOTHER CRMPM-40 of 2026 16.03.2026 Present: Mr. Abhay Gupta, proxy counsel, for the petitioner. Mr. Shekhar Badola, proxy counsel, for respondent No.1. Mr. Rajan Kahol, Additional Advocate General, with Mr. Ravi Chauhan and Mr. Anish Banshtu, Deputy Advocates General, for State. CRMPM-40 of 2026 By way of instant application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, prayer has been made on behalf of the applicant/petitioner for condonation of delay in maintaining the accompanying petition, which is barred by limitation. Though by way of filing reply to the application, prayer made on behalf of the applicant/petitioner has been opposed on the ground that no plausible explanation has been rendered on record qua inordinate delay of 26 days in filing the accompanying criminal revision petition. Having carefully perused the averments contained in the application, which is duly supported by affidavit, this Court is convinced and satisfied that delay in maintaining the accompanying criminal revision petition is neither intentional nor deliberate, rather same has occurred on account of the circumstances, which were completely beyond the control of the applicant/petitioner and as such, delay in filing the petition, which in my considered view has been sufficiently explained, is condoned. The application stands disposed of. Cr. Revision Petition No._____ of 2026 Be registered. Notice. Mr. Shekhar Badola, learned proxy counsel and Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General, waive service of notice on behalf of respondent No.1 and respondent No.2/State. List on 20.05.2026. Cr.MP No.___ of 2026 (CRMPST195/26) Notice in aforesaid terms. Reply, if any, be filed on or before the next date of hearing. In the meantime, substantive sentence imposed by the learned Court below shall remain suspended, subject to applicant/petitioner’s depositing 50% of the compensation amount, if not already deposited and furnishing personal bonds in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court within a period of four weeks.
