Summary: Karnataka High Court dismissed at the threshold a criminal appeal filed under S.378(4) Cr.P.C. against a 10.08.2022 trial-court judgment, refusing to condone an 883-day delay because the medical documents offered (MRI of 15.05.2022 and a 27.03.2023 radiology visit) revealed no hospitalisation and no ground explaining the failure to file in time; consequently both the delay-condonation application (I.A.No.2/2025) and the special-leave application (I.A.No.1/2025) were dismissed without issuing notice to the respondent.
