ORDER
27.04.2026 Heard Mr. B Saikia, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Ms. S G Baruah, learned counsel for the applicants. Also heard Ms. M Barman, learned Government Advocate, Assam for the respondents. By way of this interlocutory application, the applicants are seeking condonation of delay of 161 days in filing the connected application for restoration of the WP(C) No. 3693/2018 by recalling the order dated 09.06.2025, whereby the writ petition of the applicants was dismissed for non- prosecution. It appears that the applicants had filed the connected writ petition involving non-payment of the amount for completion of the allotted training course modules under the skill development initiative scheme. It appears that during the pendency of the writ petition, the engaged counsel having not appeared before the Court, the writ petition was dismissed for non-prosecution on 09.06.2025. It further appears that since the applicants were not informed by the engaged counsel as regards the dismissal of the writ petition, the connected restoration application could not be filed within the stipulated period of time. Ms. M Barman, learned Government Advocate, Assam does not oppose to the delay being condoned.
Having heard the learned counsels for the parties and having perused the grounds of delay, this Court finds that the reasons stated are sufficient and bonafide. Accordingly, the delay of 161 days in filing the connected application for restoration of the WP(C) No. 3693/2018 is hereby condoned. The instant interlocutory application is allowed and disposed of.
