Deka, learned Standing Counsel, Educ ation Department, Assam, Mr. B. Chakraborty, learned counsel for opposite party Nos.3 & 4, Mr. N. Barah, learned counsel for opposite party No.5. This is an application for condonation of delay of 165 days in filing the accomp anying appeal preferred against the judgment and order dated 30.03.2010 in WP(C) No.1707/2007.

Medical documents have been furnished in support of this plea. An affidavit-in-opposition has been filed on behalf of the Opposite Party No.3 & 4 contending that the ground cited by the applicant is not sufficient to condon e the delay. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on a consideration of the a verments made in the pleadings, as above supported by solemn affirmation, we are of the view that the cause shown is sufficient. We are, therefore, inclined to condone the delay. Ordered accordingly. The miscellaneous case stands allowed.
