KARAM CHAND Vs. BABU RAM & ANR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The conspectus of the facts, which needs a necessary mention for deciding the instant application for condonation of delay of 701 days (about 1 year & 11 months) in filing the application under section 378(4) Cr.PC and emanating from the record, is that, having completed all the codal formalities, the trial Court acquitted respondent No.1-accused, vide impugned judgment of acquittal dated 6.10.2009 (Annexure P1), which, in substance, is as under (paras No.16 to 18):-

(2.) Although the State of Haryana did not file the appeal, but the petitioner-complainant preferred the present petition for special leave to appeal to challenge the impugned judgment of acquittal, invoking the provisions of Section 378(4) Cr.PC alongwith an application for condonation of delay of 701 days in filing the same.

(3.) After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner-appellant, going through the record with his valuable help and after considering the entire matter deeply, to my mind, there is no merit in the instant petitions in this context.
