JUSTICE PARTHIVJYOTI SAIKIA ORDER 18.09.2026 Heard Mr. A Bhattacharyya, learned counsel appearing for the applicant. Also heard Mr. B. Deuri, learned counsel appearing for the respondent nos. 1 to 4. This is an application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act praying for condonation of delay of 163 days in preferring the connected appeal. It may be mentioned that the notice upon the respondent no. 5 is yet to be served. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel of both sides. Mr. Deuri has submitted that he has no objection if the delay is condoned. On the other hand, the delay has been satisfactorily explained. This court is of the opinion that going for issuing notice on the respondent no. 5 would be waste of time. Therefore, the delay is condoned. Registry shall register the connected appeal and list the same. The interlocutory application is disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
