Agarwala, learned counsel for applicant/ appellant and Mr. R.C. Paul, learned counsel for the respondent No.1 as well Mr. K.K. Bhatta, learned counsel for the respondent No. 4. This I.A. has been filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 seeking condoning the delay of 225 days in preferring the connected appeal against the impugned judgment and order dated 19.11.2022, passed by the learned Member, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal No. 2, Kamrup (M), Guwahati in MAC Case No.2139 of 2018. No objection has been filed in the instant application. Learned counsel for the respondent No. 1 submits that the delay may be condoned. On perusal of the reasons of delay as stated in the instant application supported by an affidavit, I am of the view that the applicant/ appellant was prevented by sufficient causes in approaching the court within the period of limitation to prefer the connected appeal. Having regard to the statement made in the instant application as well as in absence of the objection, the delay of 225 days is condoned. The I.A. stands disposed of. Page No.# 4/4 The Registry is directed to register the connected appeal and list the appeal accordingly, showing the names of Mr. R.C. Paul, as learned counsel for the respondent No. 1 and Mr. K.K. Bhatta, learned counsel for the respondent No.4. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
