JUSTICE SANJEEV KUMAR SHARMA ORDER 12.06.2026 Heard Mr. K. Roland, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Mrs. Vanneihsiami, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. This Interlocutory Application has been preferred seeking condonation of delay of 89 days in filing the connected appeal against the Judgment and Order dated 05.12.2025 and sentence and order dated 08.12.2025 passed by the learned Special Judge, PC Act, Mizoram in Aizawl in SR(PCA) No. 04/2024. The reason for the delay has been explained at paragraph 2 of the instant application wherefrom it appears that the applicant is a cancer patient and has been bedridden for quite some time and as a result she could not take immediate steps for preferring the appeal. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submits that the prosecution has no objection to the condonation of the delay. Having regard to the above, I am of the view that the delay has been sufficiently explained. Accordingly, the same is condoned. Page No.# 3/3 The IA stands allowed and disposed of.
