ORDER
Date : 09-04-2026
Heard Mr. G. Jini, learned Legal Aid Counsel for the applicant. Also heard Mr. D. Loyi, learned Public Prosecutor for the State.
2. This is an application praying for condonation of a delay of 304 days in filing the connected criminal appeal against the judgment and order dated 06.06.2025 passed by the learned Special Judge (POCSO), Tezu, Arunachal Pradesh, in Tezu WPS Case No. 05/2022, under Sections 354 and 354A(i) of the Indian Penal Code, read with Section 10 of the POCSO Act, 2012, whereby the applicant has been convicted and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of 5 (five) years and to pay a fine of ₹10,000/-, with a default stipulation.
3. I have perused the causes/reasons for not filing the connected appeal within the prescribed period of limitation, which appears to be sufficient.
4. Having considered that the connected appeal has been filed from jail and upon consideration of the grounds set forth in the application explaining the delay, this Court is satisfied that sufficient cause has been shown. Accordingly, the delay of 304 days in filing the connected criminal appeal is condoned.
5. The interlocutory application stands allowed and disposed of.
