Holding

The court held that the delay may be condoned and allowed the interim application.

Summary

The applicant filed a criminal appeal 19 days after the prescribed period and subsequently moved an interim application seeking condonation of this delay. The respondent, the State of Maharashtra, opposed the condonation. Both parties were heard before the Hon'ble Justice Rajesh S. Patil. The court examined the averments made in the interim application and found that a sufficient case was made to justify condoning the delay. Consequently, the court allowed the interim application, granting the requested condonation. The matter was adjourned for the pending criminal revision application to be listed on 1 October 2026.
