My writ petition for a job appointment was filed in January 2014 under the Guwahati High Court. The court issued notices to the respondents, asking them to file an affidavit within four weeks. However, their lawyers have repeatedly requested extensions, and despite these extensions, they haven’t appeared in court. I’m concerned about the delay and would like to know the time limit for filing counter-affidavits and how to expedite the process.

Under Indian law, there is no specific time limit for filing counter-affidavits. However, excessive delays by the respondents can be considered contempt of court. You can file an application seeking an order to expedite the proceedings, highlighting the respondents’ repeated delays and the impact on your case. The court may then issue directions to the respondents to file their affidavits within a specific time frame.
