JUDEGEMENT

The Sessions Judge, Bhavnagar allowed petitioner Gautambhai Keshavbhai Kantiya's application seeking condonation of one year and eight days delay in filing an appeal against his conviction dated 04.03.2025. The court found the petitioner's explanation reasonable and bona fide—that family bereavement prevented his appearance, resulting in an ex-parte conviction of which he learned only later. Applying a justice-oriented approach and citing precedent that technical grounds should not defeat legitimate rights to legal redress, the court permitted the appeal to proceed on merits. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
