                THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.K. SAHOO
             THE HON'BLE MISS JUSTICE SAVITRI RATHO

                                   ORDER

Order No.                        24.01.2025

                             I.A. No.3341 of 2024

   01.           This   matter    is    taken     up   through   Hybrid

arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode).

Heard Mr. Ayusman Singh, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. Sarat Pradhan, learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State.

This is an application for condonation of delay in preferring the appeal against the impugned judgment and order of conviction.

The Stamp Reporter has pointed out that there is a delay of seventeen days in filing the CRLA.

After going through the averments taken in the

interim application and on hearing the learned counsel for both the parties, since it is a case where the petitioner has been sentenced to life imprisonment, we are inclined to condone the delay in filing the CRLA.

Accordingly, the I.A. is disposed of.

Call for the trial Court record. This matter be listed along with CRLA No.1341 of 2024, if any interim application is filed.
