                        HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MEDHI

                                             ORDER

26.10.2021 Shri R.R. Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel, Forest Department submits that in spite of best efforts, he has not been able to reconstruct the file. He accordingly prays for further time to reconstruct the file.

On the other hand, Shri P.K. Roychoudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the relief claimed in these writ petitions is a limited one i.e. for consideration of the cases of the petitioners in the light of the Judgment & Order passed by the Division Bench of this Court rendered in the case of State of Assam Vs. Upen Das (W.A. No. 45/2014), reported in 2017 (5) NEJ 553. The learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that in the meantime, a fresh list of incumbents is being prepared and the petitioners may be left out. While granting further 3(three) weeks time to the learned Standing Counsel, Forest Department to reconstruct the file, it is observed that pendency of these writ petitions shall not be a bar for consideration of the cases of the petitioners in the list of the Judgment & Order rendered in the case of State of Assam Vs. Upen Das , if the petitioners meet the eligibility criteria.

List accordingly.
