JUSTICE KAUSHIK GOSWAMI 22.01.2025 (Vijay Bishnoi, CJ) This application is filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 with the prayer to condone the delay of 37 days in filing the connected appeal. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicants that the State has preferred an appeal (Filing No. 14592/2024) against the judgment and order dated 23.09.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge in WP(C) No. 3526/2024, against which another appeal, being WA No. 254/2024 has already been filed by private parties. Since the learned counsel for the contesting respondents has not seriously opposed this application for condonation of delay, this Interlocutory Application is allowed and the delay of 37 days caused in filing the connected appeal (Filing No. 14592/2024) is condoned. Registry to register the connected appeal and list the same on 17.02.2025 along with WA No. 354/2024. Interlocutory Application stands disposed of. JUDGE CHIEF JUSTICE Comparing Assistant
