Babu Lal Mahto And Anr. vs The State Of Bihar on 12 July, 2011

                 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                            CR. APP (SJ) No.521 of 2011
                              Babu Lal Mahto And Anr.
                                         Versus
                                  The State Of Bihar
                                       -----------

3/ 12.7.2011 The appeal is barred by a period of limitation of three

months.

The contention is that the appellants were labouring under

an impression that co-convict Saraswati Devi and Saroj Kumar

Mahto have also joined the present set of appellants when they filed

an appeal as Vakalatnama on their behalf had also been obtained

but, when they were released from custody, the appellants came to

know that no appeal on their behalf was filed and thereafter they

applied for certified copy of the judgment and time was consumed in

between the obtaining certified copy of the judgment and the filing

of the appeal.

Let the delay in filing the appeal be condoned.
