SAMELANGSO DISTRICT KARBI ANGLONG ASSAM-782441 ------------ Advocate for : MR PRANABJYOTI BARMAN Advocate for : appearing for SMTI DITA SENGYUNG BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MRIDUL KUMAR KALITA ORDER 14.10.2026 1. Heard Mr. P. J. Barman, the learned counsel for the applicant/Insurance Company. Also heard Mr. M. Choudhury, the learned counsel for the respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 3/claimants. 2. The Interlocutory Application bearing I.A. (Civil) No. 2727/2026 has been filed by the applicant/Insurance Company praying for condonation of delay of 73 days in preferring the connected MAC Appeal, wherein the judgment and award dated 28.11.2025 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Karbi Anglong in MAC Case No. 03/2024 has been impugned. Page No.# 5/6 3. It appears that while issuing notice to the opposite party, this Court by order dated 11.08.2026 had stayed the execution of the impugned judgment and award (Execution Case No. 3/2024) till the next date, subject to deposit of 50% of the awarded amount by the Insurance Company. 4. The learned counsel for the Insurance Company has submitted that in pursuant to the said direction, the insurance company has already deposited 50% of the awarded amount. 5. Mr. Choudhury, the learned counsel for the opposite party/claimant has submitted that since 50% of the awarded amount has been deposited, and same has been made as a condition for grant of stay, the claimant does not have any objection to the same. 6. However, he submits that the claimants have also preferred a separate Interlocutory Application, i.e., I.A. (Civil) No. 3615/2026 praying for dispersing the said amount to the claimants. 7. The prayer is allowed. 8. Since the stay granted by this Court by order dated 11.08.2026 has not been objected to by the claimants, same is made absolute. The said stay shall continue during the pendency of the connected Motor Accident Claims Appeal, which is yet to be registered. 9. Further, as the claimant is not objecting to the prayer for condonation of delay, and as the grounds stated by the Insurance Company in the Interlocutory Application filed by them, in the considered opinion of this Court, may be regarded as sufficient cause which prevented the Insurance Company from preferring the connected appeal within the prescribed period of limitation, the delay of 73 days in preferring the connected appeal is hereby Page No.# 6/6 condoned, and accordingly, I.A. (Civil) No. 2727/2026 and I.A. (Civil) No. 3615/2026 are allowed and disposed of. 10. The Registry is directed to register the connected MAC Appeal and list the same for admission after Puja Vacation on the date to be fixed by the Registry. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
