DATE :

14th FEBRUARY, 2023 P. C. :- INTERIM APPLICATION NO. 582 OF 2020 1.

In fact there is a delay of 15 days in preferring an appeal. My attention is invited to an order dated 03/01/2023. The Appellate Court has revered the conviction predominantly for the reason that the complaint is filed at premature stage. In the order dated 03/01/2023, there is no reference that the delay condonation application is pending. That needs to be decided first. 2.

The Respondent No. 1-accused is served and there is by SEEMA KSHITIJ YELKAR Date:
