JUSTICE SUSMITA PHUKAN KHAUND ORDER 19.02.2025 Heard Mr. G. Goswami, learned Standing Counsel, Railway Department for the applicant. Also heard Mr. M.H. Laskar, learned counsel for the respondents/opposite parties. This application is filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963, praying for condonation of delay of 616 days in preferring the connected interlocutory application for substitution of legal heirs of the deceased Subhash Das. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that the delay was not intentional, as the applicant was not aware of the death of the sole respondent Subhash Das. Page No.# 4/4 I have considered the submissions of both the parities. It appears that sufficient grounds have been shown and there was no negligence on the part of the applicant. The delay is hereby condoned. Accordingly, the legal heirs of Subhas Das are allowed to be substituted. With the above observation and direction, the interlocutory application stands disposed of.
