Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Gauhati High Court's order dismissing the writ appeal due to delay in filing, citing the need to condone the delay under the principles of justice. The Court emphasized that the appellants had complied with prior orders, and directed the High Court to dispose of the writ appeal on merits within three months. The impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed without costs.
