BEFORE
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MRIDUL KUMAR KALITA
ORDER
05.12.2025
1. Heard Mr. S. Pegu, the learned counsel for the appellant/applicant. Also heard Mr. S. Deka, the learned counsel for the respondent No. 1 as well as Mr. K. Bhatta, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent No. 3.
2. The learned counsel for the appellant/applicant has submitted that the appellant/applicant could not take steps for issuance of notice upon the respondent No. 2 as it has been informed that respondent No. 2 has moved out from his earlier address and the appellant/applicant is yet to find out the new address. He, therefore, prays for some time to find out the new address of the respondent No. 2 and take steps for issuance of notice upon the respondent No. 2.
3. It appears from record that the impugned order has already been stayed, by order dated 30.06.2022, passed in I.A.(Civil) No. 1884/2022 and the appell/applicant is yet to take steps for effecting service on the respondent No. 2 in this given address.
4. Under such circumstances, the stay granted on the impugned judgment and award by order dated 30.06.2022, is liable to be vacated. However, one chance is hereby granted to the appellant /applicant to take fresh steps for issuance of notice upon the respondent No. 2 by speed post as well as by usual mode after ascertaining the proper address of the said respondent within 7(seven) days from the date of this order, Page No.# 5/5
returnable on 8th January, 2026.
5. List accordingly.
