JUSTICE YARENJUNGLA LONGKUMER Page No.# 3/3 ORDER 19.06.2026 Heard Mr. R. Sharma, learned counsel for the applicant. Office note 16/6/2026 indicates that the postal remark in respect of the speed post on respondent Nos.1, 2 and 3 indicates that the consignment was refused by the respondent Nos.1, 2 and 3. However, service on respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 3 served through the process server shows that the respondents could not be traced out at their address and local residents had no knowledge about them. Hence, the notices could not be served. The instant application has been preferred by the appellant/Oriental Insurance Company praying for condoning the delay of 31 days in preferring the connected MAC appeal. Accordingly, in the interest of justice and in order to avoid further delay, the application is taken up for hearing today. The reasons for the delay has been set out at paragraph 4 and 5 of the application. The court has perused the same and find that sufficient cause has been shown by the applicant for the delay of 31 days. Accordingly, the delay of 31 days is condoned and the application is allowed. Registry shall register the appeal and list the same for admission after summer vacation. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
