JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER 10.11.2025 Both the applications are taken up together for disposal taking into account that one is an application for condoning the delay in filing the restoration application and the other application has been filed for restoration of the accompanying writ petition being WP(C)No.7614/2017. Page No.# 4/4 2. The grounds and reasons stated in both the applications are one and the same inasmuch as, the applicant Employees’ Union were not apprised about the dismissal of the case on account of the death of the engaged counsel, Late LP Sharma, who was actually conducting the matter. 3. Taking into account the reasons so assigned in both the applications, this Court does not find there to be any delay or laches on the part of the applicants and further the grounds and reasons are good grounds for restoring the accompanying writ petition being WP(C)No.7614/2017. 4. Accordingly, the accompanying writ petition being WP(C)No.7614/2017 is restored to the file. 5. Before parting with the records, this Court, however, observes that the contention so made by the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the Cement Corporation of India in respect to the locus of the applicants as of now to continue to agitate the grievances of the workmen shall be considered at the time of hearing of the accompanying writ petition. 6. Both the Interlocutory applications, accordingly stand disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
