No one appears for the petitioner on call.

¶2The petitioner had been allowed to operate 13 No. Nanoi Meen Mahal, Page No.# 2/2 Nagaon district up to 02.12.2020. As the petitioner's settlement of the fishery for 7 years was coming to an end, he submitted a representation for extension of the fishery for another period of 7 years. The Fishery Department, vide order dated 02.01.2021, extended the period of settlement of the fishery with the petitioner for another period of one year, w.e.f. 02.12.2020 to 02.12.2021.
