Case Summary: Podiya Aytu Kunjam v. State of Maharashtra (11/2026) The Additional Sessions Judge, Aheri allowed an application for condonation of delay filed by a 17-year-old child in conflict with law (through his natural guardian father). The court found sufficient grounds for the delay in filing an appeal against a Juvenile Justice Board order rejecting bail, considering the applicant's poor background, lack of education in the family, residence in Chhattisgarh, and inability to contact legal counsel within the statutory 30-day period. The court condoned the delay and directed registration of the appeal subject to removal of office objections.
