JUSTICE ROBIN PHUKAN ORDER 27.03.2025 Heard Mr D K Das, learned counsel for the applicant and Ms M Kumari, learned counsel for the respondent/opposite party. 2. This application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, is preferred by the applicant for condonation of delay of 63 days in preferring the connected RERA Appeal, against the Judgment and Order dated 04.10.2024, passed by the Assam Page No.# 2/3 Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, Guwahati, in REAT/ASSAM/APPEAL No. 15/2024, by which the Judgment and Order dated 08.02.2024, passed by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, Assam, at Guwahati, in Complaint Case No. RERA/ASSAM/COM/2023/47, is upheld. 3. The learned counsel for the applicant/appellant submits that the applicant/appellant was suffering from liver disease, and he was under treatment for which he could not file the appeal within the stipulated period and in support of his submission, he has referred to the statement and averments made in paragraph No. 3 of the application and also the medical documents enclosed in the application as Annexure-1 series and he further submits that the delay of 63 days is a bonafide one and that he has an arguable case to be heard on merit. Therefore, it is contended to condone the same. 4. On the other hand, Ms M Kumari, learned counsel for the respondent/opposite party has opposed in condoning the delay of 63 days. It is submitted that the delay has not been properly explained and it is deliberate one and, therefore, it is contended to dismiss the application. 5. Having heard the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties, I have carefully gone through the application and the documents placed on record and also perused the statements and averments made in paragraph-3 of the application. 6. It appears that the applicant was suffering from chronic liver disease since last few years and the medical documents enclosed as Annexure-1 series also supported his claim. In view of the explanation, so forthcoming for the delay, this Court is of the view that the delay of 63 days is a bonafide one and the same is sufficiently explained, and therefore, this Court is inclined to allow this application. 7. The delay of 63 days in filing the connected RERA Appeal, stands condoned. Page No.# 3/3 8. In terms of above, this interlocutory application stands disposed of. 9. In view of the order passed today in this interlocutory application, Registry shall register the appeal and list the same before the Court as soon as practical. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
