2013 (2) TMI 354 - PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURTCondonation of delay in filing application for leave to appeal - Held that:- Delay in this case is of 465 days, first delay is of 118 days when the appeal was originally filed and for this delay it is claimed that the advocate of the applicant at the trial court told the applicant that limitation for filing an appeal against acquittal is 180 days while it was 60 days. It is claimed that in this way there had been a delay of 118 days. The second delay is after filing of the appeal and rasing of the objections. Thereafter the delay is quite considerable i.e. of 347 days and surprisingly no reason is given as to how this delay of 347 days occurred. It is a case where virtually no cause is stated to explain the delay and there is nothing before this court to consider for deciding if the same is sufficient cause or not. As stricter approach is to be there in this case, because the delay is inordinate no reason worth the name on the record given by the applicant for holding that there had been sufficient cause for the delay - no ground to condone the delay in filing the application for leave to appeal.
