The learned Government Advocate, however, insisted that the facts appearing in the charge sheet also disclose commission of offences punishable under Sections 468, 469 and 471 I.P.C. for which no period of limitation is prescribed. He, therefore prayed that this Court should, in larger public interest direct these charges to be framed. Even, otherwise, it is submitted that Section 473 Cr. P.C. does not require any application and casts an obligation on the Court to consider whether the delay, if any, deserves to be ignored, and since, the question of wider public interest is involved in the instant case, the delay was rightly condoned.
