JUSTICE MRIDUL KUMAR KALITA ORDER Date - 31.07.2026 1. Heard Ms. S. Patwari, the learned counsel for the application. Also heard Mr. R. D. Mozumdar, the learned counsel for the respondent No. 1. 2. On perusal of the office note dated 28.07.2026, it appears that the notices issued to the respondent No.2 has been duly served. 3. This application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 has been filed by the applicant Mr. Abu Sahed @ Abu Sahid, praying for condonating of delay of 24 days in preferring the connected MAC Appeal whereby the judgment and order dated 08.08.2025 passed by the Motor Accident Page No.# 3/3 Claims Tribunal, Morigaon in MAC (Injury) Case No. 76/2018 has been impugned. 4. The learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the reason for delay has been stated by the applicant in paragraph Nos. 3 and 4. 5. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the opposite party No. 1 has objected to the prayer for condonation of delay on the ground that the delay has not been sufficiently explained. 6. I have gone through the grounds stated in the instant Interlocutory Application. 7. It appears that the reasons shown by the applicant in the instant Interlocutory Application may be regarded as sufficient cause, which prevented him from impugning the connected appeal within the prescribed period of limitation. As such, the delay of 24 days in preferring the connected appeal is condoned and this Interlocutory Application is allowed. 8. The Registry is directed to register the connected MAC Appeal and list the same for admission after a week on a date to be fixed by the Registry. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
