ORDER
06-05-2026 (AD Choudhury, J)
1. Heard Mr. BD Das, learned Senior counsel assisted by Mrs. R Deka, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. R Barpujari, learned standing counsel for the Finance Department and Ms. K Das, learned standing counsel for the Elementary Education Department.
2. This Interlocutory Application has been filed for condonation of the delay of 481 days in filing the connected appeal against the judgment & order dated 02.12.2024 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in WP(C) No. 5535/2024.
3. Perused the averments made in the application.
4. The learned counsel for the respondents has not disputed the factual position, inasmuch as under similar circumstances, a Co-ordinate Bench had already condoned the delay.
5. After going through the averments made at paragraph Nos. 2(i), 2(ii) and 3 of the application, we are satisfied that good grounds have been assigned by the applicant/appellant for condoning the delay of 481 days in preferring the appeal.
6. We, therefore, condone the delay.
7. The interlocutory Application stands disposed off.
8. Registry to process the connected appeal and, if the same is found defect-free, shall list the same under appropriate heading, preferably on 12.05.2026 along with WA 388/2025 and Review Petition No. 275/2025.
