Order No. 08.10.2025

I.A. No.2521 of 2025

01. This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode).

None appears from both the sides due to resolution passed by the High Court Bar Association, Orissa.

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 forty two days in filing this CRLA.

After going through the averments taken in the interim application, 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 delay is condoned. I.A. is disposed of.
