Time limit for filling SLP(Crl) in SC

90 days from the date of the order excluding the period taken in obtaining certified copy.  Generally State will always file their SLP with delay and with condonation of delay application and generally it is condoned if it is not extraordinary delay.  But the most important thing is about the merits of the case.  If the case is meritorious one, ja long delay also will be condoned in the interest of justice.

Dear Querist,

Please note that it is a 90-day period of limitation for filing a SLP before Hon'ble Supreme Court from the passing of the impugned order (order under challenge passed by the High Court). However, delay, if any, caused by the State in filing SLP may be condoned if the State, on application, can satisfy the Hon'ble Suppreme Court that there exists sufficient and reasonable grounds to get the such delay condoned.

However, if you are apprehensive, you may file a Caveat Petition before the Suppreme Court so that no order is passed in the matter except a prior notice to you. This would help you in effetively monitoring and managing the case.

Trust this would suffice.
