ORDER
Date : 16.10.2026
Case taken up before the Lawazima Court.
Learned counsel Mr. K.M. Haloi appears on behalf of the petitioners.
Heard.
Perused the records.
A perusal of the case record reveals that notice was issued to the respondent No. 2 by way of registered post with A/D mode on 27.03.2024.
However, it appears that the aforesaid notice has been received un-served by the Registry bearing an illegible postal remark. As such, exact reason of such return could not be discerned by this Lawazima Court.
Now, regarding the aforementioned respondent No. 2, Mr. K.M. Haloi, learned counsel for the petitioners, submitted that respondent No. 2 (i.e., “The Management of Assam State Textile Corporation Ltd.”) has ceased to exist. He therefore prayed for the matter to be placed before the Hon’ble Court for necessary orders.
In light of the prayer made above, the matter is laid before the Hon’ble Court for obtaining necessary orders regarding the respondent No. 2.
