Heard.
2.
By this application, the appellant is seeking condonation of delay of 22 days which is caused in preferring the appeal against acquittal. It is submitted by the appellant that after receipt of the copy, he approached to the High Court Legal Aid Committee and applied for the legal assistance, and therefore, there is a delay in filing the appeal.
3.
Learned Counsel for the respondents strongly opposed the application on the ground that there is no sufficient and reasonable caused for condonation of delay. 4.
I have heard learned Counsel for both the parties and perused the application which reveals that the time was consumed in approaching the High Court Legal Aid Committee and thereafter seeking help, therefore, the reason mentioned in the application appears to be reasonable and satisfactory one. In view of that, the application deserves to be allowed.
