NAGALAN Advocate for the Petitioner : E THIBA PHOM Advocate for the Respondent : Page No. # 7/8 BEFORE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KAKHETO SEMA ORDER 08. 04. 2024 Heard Mr. E. Thiba Phom, learned Government Advocate for the applicant and Mr. Supongwati Walling, learned counsel for the opposite party/respondents.

This application has been filed seeking for extension of time to comply with the Order dated 29. 05. 2023 passed by this Court in WP(C)/267/2022. By the said Order the writ petition was disposed with a direction to the State respondents to take necessary steps for regularization of the service of the petitioner as per the Office Memorandum dated 17. 03. 2015 within a period of 3 (three) months. Since the State could not comply with the Order dated 29. 05. 2023 within the time framed by this Court, the I. A. (Civil) No. 115/2023 was filed by the applicant seeking extension for another period of 3 (three) months to comply with the Order dated 29. 05. 2023 which was granted by this Court by the Order dated 09. 10. 2023. It is the case of the petitioner that thereafter another I. A. (Civil) No. 28/2024 was filed seeking for further extension of time but the same was withdrawn due to the error in the Causetitle with liberty to file afresh.

In the normal circumstances the State applicant could not have filed the present application as the time granted by this Court to comply with the Order dated 29. 05. 2023 has lapsed. However, in the interest of justice, a last chance is Page No. # 8/8 granted to the State to comply with the Order dated 29. 05. 2023 passed by this Court in WP(C)/267/2022 within a period of 6 (six) months from today. It is made clear that this is the last chance afforded to the State respondents to comply with the Order dated 29. 05. 2023 and no further extension shall be granted. The I. A. accordingly stands disposed. Sd/- JUDGE Comparing Assistant
