JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER 05.10.2026 Heard Mr. RK Talukdar, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants. Also heard Mr. BP Borah, the learned counsel, who appears on behalf of the opposite parties/writ petitioners. 2. This is an application filed seeking leave of the Court for going ahead with the construction work during the pendency of the Page No.# 8/8 accompanying writ proceedings. 3. It has been submitted at the Bar that the entire stretch of the road, which is the subject matter of the present proceeding, has been completed except a distance of 1.5 km. 4. Taking into account that proposals have already been submitted to the higher authorities for the purpose of placing the determined compensation before the Competent Authority of Land Acquisition so that the same can be disbursed to the project-affected families, this Court is of the opinion that the pendency of the instant proceedings should not bar the ongoing construction work. 5. Accordingly, the instant application, therefore, stands allowed, thereby permitting the NHIDCL to go ahead with the remaining portion of the work so that the construction can be completed at the earliest. 6. Interlocutory Application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
