JUSTICE KALYAN RAI SURANA HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRANJAL DAS ORDER Date : 17.07.2026 (K.R. Surana, J) Heard Mr. A.R. Bhuyan, learned Senior counsel assisted by Mr. M. Islam, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Mr. R. Islam, learned counsel for all the private respondents. None appears on call on behalf of the Higher Education Department. 2. By filing this interlocutory application, the applicants who are the Page No.# 6/7 appellants in WA/247/2021, have prayed for amendment in the cause title and prayer for memo of the appeal. The nature of amendment sought for is stated in para 7 and para 9 of this interlocutory application. 3. The learned counsel for the private respondents has referred to the objection filed in this matter and opposed the prayer on the ground that if the amendments as prayed for are allowed, it would change the nature and character of the connected appeal. It is also submitted that the private respondents have also filed cross-objection in connection cross- appeal, which is registered as WA/146/2022. 4. Having heard the learned Senior counsel for the applicant and the counsel for the private respondents, the Court is of the considered opinion that if the proposed amendment are allowed, it would not change the nature and character of the connected appeal. Moreover, as the private respondents in the connected appeal have also filed WA/146/2022, there is no likelihood that the private respondents would suffer any prejudice if the prayer for amendments are allowed. 5. Accordingly, prayer for amendment has made in this application stands allowed to the extent as pleaded in para 7 and para 9 of this interlocutory application. 6. The applicant shall file an amended memo of appeal within a period of 2(two) weeks from the date of the order. In the amended Memo of Appeal, the portion which is deleted and substituted shall also be reflected, but struck off so that the nature of the amendment made would be on record. Page No.# 7/7 7.
