Clearly the order of the appellate court in rejecting the appeal of the petitioner (man) is erroneous and the finding that sufficient cause was not shown by him in approaching the appellate court is not sustainable,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>The high court held, &#8220;Courts have to take a liberal approach, when appeals against conviction are filed, with some delay, by persons who are in custody. Delay does not work to the advantage of the person incarcerated. People who are incarcerated do not have the advantage that a free person has, of approaching a counsel and taking legal advice at one own free will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It added that &#8220;we live in a society where families of a poor person in custody and families of those coming from remote areas of the country are not even aware of their legal rights and even if aware, may not have the capacity or resources to approach a counsel for legal advice or approach courts for legal aid&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The man stated in his plea before the high court that he was a poor and incarcerated person and his wife was also uneducated and not in a position to arrange for funds to engage a counsel.<\/p>\n<p>He said his wife was previously not aware that she could approach legal aid for filing the petition. Later, she approached the legal aid and the petition was filed before the high court through legal aid after a delay of 319 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi : Courts should take a liberal approach when appeals against convictions are filed with some delay by those in custody, the Delhi High Court has said.
