The Principal Sessions Judge at Nagercoil allowed a petition to condone a 140-day delay in filing a criminal appeal against an acquittal judgment. The petitioner, an Assistant Inspector of Labour, explained that he initially mistook the case as filed under private complaint procedure and approached the High Court's Law Officer, but was later directed to file the appeal before the Sessions Court. Finding the explanation reasonable and uncontradicted by the respondents, the court granted the condonation.
