Order No. 21.06.2023

02. 1. There is an extraordinary delay of 111 days in preferring the petition seeking leave to appeal against the judgment dated 22nd May, 2010 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Nuapada in Sessions Case No. 49 of 2009 arising out of G.R. Case No. 191 of 2009 acquitting the Respondents of the offences under Section 302/201 read with Section 34 IPC. Having examined the application for condonation of delay, the Court finds the reason giving therein are wholly unsatisfactory and do not meet the requirements as spelt out by the Supreme Court of India in Chief Post Master General v. Living Media India Ltd. (2012) 3 SCC 563 and The State of Madhya Pradesh v. Bherulal (2020) 10 SCC.

2. Consequently, the application of condonation of delay is dismissed. As a result, the criminal leave petition is dismissed.

                                                                       (Dr. S. Muralidhar)
