The Gauhati High Court dismissed the State of Assam's application seeking condonation of 1102 days delay in filing a writ appeal against a 2022 judgment involving assistant teachers. The court rejected the state's claims of unavoidable circumstances, finding instead administrative lethargy and lack of diligence, ruling that bureaucratic delay cannot justify condonation merely because the government is a party. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
