D CHOUDHURY (R-8 TO 13),SC, REVENUE BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ROBIN PHUKAN ORDER Date : 20.06.2025 Heard Mr. S. Deka, learned counsel for the applicants. Also heard Mr. P.M. Deka, learned counsel for the opposite party Nos. 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3; Ms. A. Kharbani, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. D. Choudhury, learned counsel for the opposite party Nos. 2, 3, 4, 8 to 13; Mr. J. Handique, learned standing counsel for the opposite party No. 5 and Mr. D.D. Barman, learned Addl. Senior Government Advocate for the opposite party Nos. 6 and 7. 2. This interlocutory application, under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, is preferred by the applicants for condonation of delay of 125 days in preferring Page No.# 6/6 the connected application for substitution of legal heirs of the deceased respondent No. 1 by setting aside abatement. 3. Mr. Deka, learned counsel for the applicants submits that the ground of delay in filing the connected substitution application has been explained in paragraph Nos. 6 to 8 of this application, and that the delay is not intentional, rather it is circumstantial, and therefore, Mr. Deka has contended to allow this application. 4. Mr. P.M. Deka, learned counsel for the opposite party Nos. 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3; Ms. A. Kharbani, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. D. Choudhury, learned counsel for the opposite party Nos. 2, 3, 4, 8 to 13; Mr. J. Handique, learned standing counsel for the opposite party No. 5 and Mr. D.D. Barman, learned Addl. Senior Government Advocate for the opposite party Nos. 6 and 7 submit that they have no objection in the event of allowing this application. 5. Having heard the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties, I have carefully gone through the application and the grounds mentioned in paragraph Nos. 6 to 8, and I find that the delay is sufficiently explained. 6. Accordingly, the delay of 125 days in preferring the connected application for substitution of legal heirs of the deceased respondent No. 1 by setting aside abatement stands condoned. 7. In terms of above, this I.A. stands allowed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
