Holding
The Court held that the 36‑day delay in filing the appeal was condoned.
Summary
The appellant, Jaswant Singh, filed an interim application seeking condonation of a 36‑day delay in filing an appeal against the trial court’s order rejecting his bail application. The High Court examined whether such a delay could be excused under procedural law. Relying on the principle that delays may be condoned if sufficient cause is shown, the Court found the reasons for the delay satisfactory. Consequently, the Court condoned the delay, disposed of the interim application, and ordered that the main criminal appeal be listed for hearing on a later date. No substantive merits of the bail application were decided in this order.
Issues considered
- Whether a delay of 36 days in filing an appeal against a bail denial can be condoned under the Criminal Procedure Code.
