P.Manimurugan vs Dr.S.R.Sreenivasa Kannan Advocate - G.Sivakumar — 4487/2025

The Principal Sessions Judge allowed the petitioner's 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 mistakenly believed the case was filed under private complaint procedure and approached the High Court's Law Officer before being directed to file the appeal before the Sessions Court. Since the respondents did not contest the delay and the court found the reason credible, the petition was granted.
