For the reasons stated in the application, the same is allowed and delay of 49 days in filing the present application is condoned. CRM-A-1176-2019 Counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the present application was filed against acquittal in the year 2019 and he has a very good case on merit. Learned counsel for the respondents submit that the judgment of acquittal is well reasoned and leave to appeal should not be granted. They further submit that in case, this Court grants leave to appeal and admit the main appeal, its turn will not come for hearing for decades, as such pendency of the appeal may be treated in-consequential for the respondent.

Leave to appeal granted.

Counsel for the respondents submit that they be exempted from furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds before the concerned trial Court or Chief Judicial Magistrate. They undertake to surrender before the majesty of Court as and when this Court directed to do so or in case of reversal of the judgment. Given such undertaking, there shall be no need to furnish bail bonds/surety bonds by the respondent.

Main appeal Admit.
