CS (COMM.) 6810/24
Pawan Bansal
Vs.
RN FAUCETS PVT LTD
23.07.2025
Present: Shri Hardik Saxena, proxy counsel for Shri Vishal
Bansal, counsel for plaintiff.
Shri Vinod Kumar, AR on behalf of all defendants.
The AR has filed WS, affidavit of admission/denial
of documents and certificate U/s 11 Rule 6(3) of CPC, list of
documents and a document namely board resolution and
application for condonation of delay U/o 8 Rule 1 CPC.
Report on the summons of any of the defendant was
not received back on the last date i.e. 21.04.2025. Despite it
memo of appearance was filed on behalf of defendants. In view
of appearance without service of summons, the date of service is
taken as date of appearance which is 21.04.2025. The WS has
been filed today i.e. on 92nd day, after delay of 62 days. The
reason of delay mentioned in the application is that the defendant
cosumed some time in searching the documents and after those
serching, documents were handed over to counsel who went
through them and prepared the WS which was ultimately signed
and attested on 22.07.2025.
The list of documents annexed with the plaint shows
that only one document i.e. board resolution has been filed with
WS. No other documents have been filed. It means that the
defendants did not consult any document and that's why no
document other than board resolution has been filed. So, the plea
of the defendants regarding consumption of time for searching of
documents

is baseless. Despite it, in the interest of justice, the delay is
condoned subject to cost of Rs.5,000/- payable by defendants to
the plaintiff on next date of hearing.
Now to come up for filing replication with advance
copy to the opposite party.
The matter is now adjourned for above purpose and
for filing affidavits of admission/denial of documents, payment
of cost and for framing of issues on 29.10.2025.
