    Case Summary: G.K. Ramesh v. S. Velavendan (561/2026) The Principal District and Sessions Judge at Tiruvallur allowed G.K. Ramesh's petition to condone a 20-day delay in filing a criminal appeal against his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Ramesh was sentenced to six months imprisonment and ordered to pay ₹7,00,000 in compensation; he attributed the delay to his work as a driver traveling between states and financial constraints in accessing counsel. The court found the delay acceptable given its modest length, the reasonable explanation, and the interest of justice, particularly noting that no prejudice would result to the respondent who would have opportunity to defend during the appeal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
