    The Gauhati High Court dismissed the interlocutory application seeking condonation of 303 days' delay in filing a writ appeal against the lower court's judgment dated 28.02.2025. The court found that the petitioners' explanation—that they relocated to Kerala after contractual service discontinuation in 2031 and lost contact with counsel—was vague and insufficient to justify the delay. The court held that while limitation periods cannot be extended on mere equitable grounds, applicants must demonstrate reasonable and satisfactory cause, which was absent here; notably, the petitioners only pursued relief after similarly situated persons obtained favorable orders in other cases. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
