P.Manimurugan vs Dr.S.R.Sreenivasa Kannan Advocate - G.Sivakumar — 4486/2025

Summary The Principal Sessions Judge allowed a petition to condone a 140-day delay in filing a criminal appeal against an acquittal judgment. The court accepted the petitioner's explanation that he initially believed the case was filed under private complaint procedure and mistakenly approached the High Court's Law Officer before being directed to file the appeal before the Sessions Court, finding the delay neither willful nor wanton and uncontested by the respondents.
