The Sessions Judge, Ratnagiri, allowed the applicant's plea for condonation of 307 days delay in filing a criminal appeal against his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court found sufficient cause for the delay, citing the applicant's illiteracy, custody status, and lack of legal awareness, outweighing the respondent's objections. The appeal was permitted on payment of Rs. 3,000 costs, with parties directed to appear on 20.04.2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
