ORDER

Date : 18/05/2026 (Michael Zothankhuma, J) Heard Mr. S. Chauhan, learned counsel for the applicant, who submits that there is a delay of 204 days in filing the appeal against the order dated 20/06/2025 passed in WP(C) No. 4407/2023. He also submits that an analogous matter i.e. WA 253/2025 is pending before this Court. Mr. A. Chaliha, learned Standing Counsel, Finance Department and Mr. S. Dutta, learned Standing Counsel, Panchayat and Rural Development Department, Assam, submit that they have got no objection to the delay being condoned. On considering the grounds for the delay, we find that sufficient cause for the delay has been made out, besides the fact that there is a pending appeal in respect of the same subject matter in issue. Accordingly, the delay of 204 days is condoned. IA is accordingly disposed of.

Registry to list the appeal on 17/06/2026 along with WA 253/2025.
