عدالتAppeal 2nd کو درخواست بحالی اپیل اولینہ میں تبدیل کر دیا
2022 YLR 1252
Dismissal of appeal for non - appearance of accused --- Restoration of appeal --- Scope --- Appeal of the accused was dismissed due to his non - appearance --- Accused , after being arrested , filed another appeal --- Second appeal was not competent ; firstly , because the order passed by the Court though not a judgment on merits but still occupied the field ; secondly , Court I could not hear appeal against its own order / judgment ; thirdly , appeal was hopelessly barred by time --- Since the accused , after obtaining bail had remained fugitive of law , had not surrendered rather was got arrested and produced before the Court , so the delay which was willful , intentional and inordinate could not be ignored nor was condonable --- Counsel of the accused requested the Court to treat the second appeal as an application under S. 561 - A , Cr.P.C. for condonation of delay --- Application was accepted , order for dismissal of first appeal for non - appearance was recalled and the same was resurrected .
