Appeal time over. After 3 years, whether possible to file SLP in SC, challenging the dismissal order by High Court in a Criminal case.
Whether SLP itself will be treated as appeal in this case?

Instead of SLP why dont you go for writ.
Writ Petition (Crl.) No limitation
Transfer Petition (Crl.) No limitation No Spl. Leave Petition (Crl.) 60 days from the date of the impugned order in cases involving sentence of death. 90 days from the date of the impugned order. In other cases if the Nature of the Matters Prescribed period of limitation Prescribed Court fee limitation is claimed from the date of refusal of certificate of fitness to appeal, then 60 days from the date of refusal Criminal Appeal by Certificate of fitness (under Article 132 (1) and 134 of the Constitution of India, 1950 60 days from the date of order granting Certificate
There are some case laws for the condonation, but the fact must be such that it overcomes the condonation.

Well directly saying you cannot file....
but I would like to know whether you have the certificate from the High Court and if you had not applied for then please check.
Remember this thing for always... Dont go with Appeal / Writ .... instead go with petition under Art.142 of the Constitution to help the person who hadnt got complete justice. This Article is such a big tool that it overcomes all the powers of Supreme Court and the Supreme Court is bound to follow the petitions filed under it.
Though you were sleeping over your rights, still you can file under it and the only technicality is that You shouldnt file for certificate for SLP.
