NALKHAMARI, P.S. UDALGURI, DISTRICT KAMRUP (M), ASSAM, PIN 784509, M.SC. STUDENT, ZOOLOGY DEPARTMENT, BODOLAND UNIVERSITY, KOKRAJHAR. VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REPRESENTED BY THE PP, ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MS N HASSAN, LEGAL AID COUNSEL Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ROBIN PHUKAN ORDER 31.07.2026 Heard Ms. N. Hassan, learned legal aid counsel for the applicant and also heard Mr. K. Baishya, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam, appearing for the State opposite party. This application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act is preferred by the applicant for condonation of delay of 27 days in preferring the connected criminal revision petition Page No.# 2/2 against the orders dated 17.03.2026 and 31.03.2026, passed in Special (N) Case No.15/2026. Ms. Hassan, learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is a student pursuing M.Sc. in Bodoland University, Kokrajhar and he has filed an application before the Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Darrang, Mangaldai, on 08.04.2026 for filing criminal revision petition against the orders, dated 17.03.2026, and 31.03.2026, and then the Secretary, Legal Services Authority, Darrang, Mangaldai, has sent a letter to the Secretary, Gauhati High Court Legal Services Committee on 08.04.2026 for filing criminal revision petition against the orders dated 17.03.2026 and 31.03.2026 and she has been engaged only on 03.06.2026 and as she was also busy in some other legal aid appeal matters, she could not prepare the revision in time and in the process delay of 27 days occurred and the same is not intentional, rather it is circumstantial and therefore, she has contended to condone the same. Mr. Baishya, learned Addl. P.P. for the opposite party submits that he has no objection. Accordingly, taking note of the submission of learned counsel for both the parties and also the explanation, so forthcoming for the delay of 27 days in preferring the connected criminal revision petition, this Court is of the view that delay of 27 days is sufficiently explained and accordingly, the same stands condoned. In terms of above, the I.A. stands disposed of. Now the Registry will register and number the connected criminal revision petition and list the same before the Court as soon as practicable.
