M.F. Saldanha, J.1. We have heard the learned Additional State Public Prosecutor both on merits as also on I.A. I which is for condonation of delay of 222 days. The delay in this case is relatively gross and normally, we would not have condoned the delay except for the fact that this is a very old proceeding, that there were some procedural problems in the way of the State in the matter of filing this appeal. Having regard to what has been pointed out, the delay is condoned. I.A. I is allowed, (affidavit indicating the grounds for the delay has been tendered by the learned Counsel and the same has been taken on record).2. As far as the merits of the case are concerned, we find that the principal reason why the Trial Court has acquitted the accused is because the requisite sanction under Section 111 of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act was not obtained. The allegations against the accused was that he had not accounted for a sum of Rs. 3,905-80 paise which according to the complai...
