Choudhury, J) Heard Mr. N. Mozhui, learned counsel for the applicants and Ms. V. Suokhrie, learned Additional Advocate General, State of Nagaland for the opposite parties. The instant Interlocutory Application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 read with Rule 2 (2) of Chapter V-A of the Gauhati High Court Rules has been preferred seeking condonation of delay of 66 (sixty-six) days in preferring the accompanying writ appeal. The accompanying writ appeal has been preferred to assail the Judgment and Order dated 10. 06.
2024 in a writ petition, WP(C)/279/2022, passed by a learned single Judge. By the Judgment and Order dated 10. 06. 2024, in the writ petition, WP(C)/279/2022 preferred by the applicants as writ petitioners, has been dismissed. We have gone through the statements and averments made in the instant interlocutory application, more particularly, paragraph-10 thereof. Having gone through the same, we are of the considered view that the applicants have been able to explain the reason for delay showing sufficient cause. Page No. # 10/10 Ms. V. Suokhrie, learned Additional Advocate General, State of Nagaland appearing for the opposite parties has submitted that she has no instruction to oppose the instant interlocutory application seeking condonation of delay and has fairly submitted that the accompanying writ appeal can be heard on merits, after condoning the period of delay.
In view of the above, the instant Interlocutory Application seeking condonation of delay of 66 (sixty-six) days in preferring the accompanying writ appeal stands allowed. The Registry to register the accompanying writ appeal and thereafter, list the same for admission. JUDGE JUDGE Comparing Assistant
