JUDGMENT / ORDER BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NELSON SAILO Date : –

13.07.2026

Heard Mr. L. H. Lianhrima, learned senior counsel assisted by Ms. Ruth Lalruatfeli, learned counsel for the applicant, who submits that by filing this application, the applicant seeks the amendment of the Memo of Appeal insofar as the placement of the substantial question of law is concerned. He submits that the substantial question of law so formulated by the applicant has inadvertently been placed after the affidavit in the memo of appeal and therefore, he prays that he may be allowed to recast the same by placing it just after the grounds of appeal in the main memo of appeal. He also submits that the application have been filed in terms of the observation made by this Court vide order dated 23.06.2026 in the main appeal. Mr. Vanlaltanpuia, learned counsel for the respondent No.5 and Ms. Vanneihsiami, learned Government Advocate appearing for the official respondents have no objections to the prayer.

In view of above, the application for filing a recast memo of appeal in the manner stated by the learned senior counsel is hereby allowed. The applicant shall file a recast memo of appeal within a week. The applicant is also permitted to withdraw the certified copy of the impugned judgment and order. It is also made clear that since the Court fees has already been paid by the applicant prior to the recast, the applicant will not be required to submit fresh court fees in order to file recast memo of appeal. I.A. stands disposed of as allowed.
