JUSTICE YARENJUNGLA LONGKUMER ORDER Date : 22.05.2026 The instant application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 has been preferred by the applicant/appellant praying for condonation of delay of 105 (one-hundred five) days in filing the connected MACApp./12/2025. 2. At the outset the learned counsel for the applicant, Mr. Laknyei Phom submits that inadvertently he has entered the period of delay as 105 days; however, the delay is only 17 (seventeen) days inasmuch as the impugned Judgment & Order was passed on 17.03.2025 and the period of 90 days expired on 17.06.2025. Thereafter, the period from 01.07.2025 to 13.07.2025 was summer vacation for this Court and in between there were two days holiday and, therefore, the delay should have been only 17 days. He has stated that the delay of 17 days has been caused due to the forwarding of the files to the Regional Office, Guwahati. He, therefore, prays that the delay of 17 days in filing the connected appeal may be condoned. 3. Also heard learned counsel for Rs-1-5, Ms. Moajungla and also Ms. K. Lily Swu for R-7, who have also raised no objection in view of the fact that the period of delay is actually 17 days only. 4. This Court has considered the reasons for the delay set out in the application and is of the view that sufficient cause has been shown and Page No.# 5/5 accordingly, the delay of 17 days is condoned and the application is allowed. 5. I.A. disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
