                            BEFORE
                HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KARDAK ETE

                                   ORDER

Date : 04.02.2026

Heard Mr. A. K. Baruah, learned counsel for the petitioners.

Since these matters are analogous and the respondents have already filed affidavit-in-opposition in some of the writ petitions, which would cover the remaining matters, however, at the request of learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Ms. U. Sarma, learned State Counsel, seeking time to file Page No.# 16/16

affidavit-in-opposition in rest of the writ petitions, this Court reluctantly grants 2 (two) weeks' time to file affidavit-in-opposition in rest of the writ petitions invariably by next date of listing.

List accordingly after 2 (two) weeks.

Comparing Assistant
