MC 3176/2008 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H. BARUAH Heard Dr. G. Lal, learned counsel for the petitioners. Notice on the respondents appear to have been served. None appears on th eir behalf today. The matter will proceed ex-parte against them. This instant application is filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 for condoning the delay of 151 days in preferring the connected appeal. Th e grounds for delay indicated in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 of the application are me ticulously perused. What transpires from the paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 of the applic ation is that the appellants are prevented from preferring the appeal in time du e to the grounds indicated therein. The grounds appear to be cogent and sufficie nt. I find no reason to reject the application. It is accordingly allowed. Delay as indicated in the application is condoned. Misc. case stands disposed of.
