S F CHISTIE Advocate for : GA ASSAM appearing for RAMESH CHAND JAIN BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KARDAK ETE ORDER Date : 05.12.2025 Heard Mr. M. U. Ahmed, learned counsel for the applicant and Ms. R. M. Baruah, learned counsel for the alleged contemnor. This is an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 praying for condonation of delay of 537 days in preferring the application for substitution of the petitioner by the legal representatives of the deceased petitioner No. 5, Late Amiya Borgohain, in the connected Contempt Case(C) No. 522/2014. Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and also taking note of the explanations for delay of 537 days in preferring the substitution application, I am of the view that sufficient cause is shown which prevented the applicant from filing the application within limitation. Thus, this Court is inclined to allow the application. Accordingly, the delay of 537 days in filing the connected application, being I.A. Page No.# 6/6 (Civil) No. 3876/2025, for substitution of the legal heirs of petitioner No. 5, Late Amiya Borgohain, in Contempt Case(C) No. 522/2014, stands condoned. Interlocutory application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
