    Business: Adv. Anand Singh for plaintiff present.
    Adv.  Tiwari for defendant no. 1  present.
    Reply filed by plaintiff on both unregistered Notice of Motions.
    Order below draft NM filed by defendant no. 1
    The defendant  no. 1 has tendered this NM seeking leave of this court to condone the delay in filing the written statement.  Plaintiff has filed reply.  Heard.  The Ld. Counsel for the defendant no. 1 submitted that  in the second week of September 2018 the defendant no. 1 received the writ of summons.  The defendant no. 1 came to the court on fixed date i.e. 28.9.2018.  Due to Ganpati festival the defendant no. 1 was in his personal difficulty and also due to ill-health does not contact his advocate.  On 28.9.2018 adv. Dubey appeared and the matter was adjourned to 13.02.2019.   Thereafter health of the daughter of defendant no. 1 was not good and also the defendant no. 1 was not keeping good health.  The defendant no. 1 contacted his advocate somewhat in November 2018, but his advocate had gone to native place during Diwali vacation, therefore could not had contact with the advocate.  When the defendant no. 1 contacted the advocate in December 2018, at that time also the court was vacant due to vacation.  In January 201 advocate asked to arrange the documents.  The defendant No. 1 being retired person, could not arrange the money for legal expenses, but meanwhile the order of without written statement was passed.  The defendant no.1 submitted that due to inadvertence and unavoidable circumstances defendant no. 1 could not file the written statement.
    The Ld. Advocate for the plaintiff opposed the notice of motion on the count that the defendant no. 1 has not made out any case for condoning the delay .  The delay was deliberate with intention to prolong the trial. Hence, prayed for dismissing the notice of motion.
    On considering the rival submission it appears that the writ of summons was served upon defendant no. 1 in September 2018 and even he appeared on 28.9.2018. The defendant no. 1 submitted on oath that due to his ill-health and ill-health of his daughter he could not contact the advocate. Further, when developed contact with the advocate, the advocate was not available in the town and thereafter there was Christmas vacation. He could not arrange the documents and money for legal expenses as advised by the advocate.  Thus it appears that the delay is sufficiently explained.  The defendant no. 1 has pointed sufficient cause for delay and therefore the notice of motion needs consideration.  Hence it is expedient to pass following order.
    ORDER
    1.  Notice of Motion is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a) to (c) subject to cost of the Rs. 5,000/- to be paid by defendant no. 1 to the plaintiff within a period of six weeks from today
    2.   Payment of cost is subject precedent.
    3.  On depositing the cost by the defendant no. 1, within the stipulated time, the written statement be taken on record.
    4.  Notice of Motion is disposed of accordingly and it be registered for statistical purpose

    Adjourned for hearing on other unregistered NM to  21.11.2019.
    Next Purpose: NM FOR HEARING
    Next Hearing Date: 21-11-2019
    
    Date: 21-11-2019
    Business: Adv. Anand Singh for plaintiff present.
    Adv. Tiwari  for defendant no. 1 present.
    Adv. Patil for defendant no. 2 present.
    Disposed of NM no. 4288/19 tendered by the defendant no. 1.
    Heard argument of Ld. Advocate for the plaintiff and defendant no. 2 on draft NM.
    Order on draft Notice of Motion
    This Notice of Motion  is filed by defendant no. 2 for condonation of delay in filing written statement.  Heard.  The Ld. counsel for the def. no. 2 submitted that the defendant no. 2 was in personal difficulty and was not keeping well after receipt of writ of summons.  He contacted with the advocate and has given the vakalatnama. Advocate appeared in the matter.  The defendant no. 2 did inquire with the advocate about the date and was not aware that the defendant no. 2 is required to file written statement within 90 days.  The defendant no. 2 has changed th advocate and has filed the present notice of motion along with written statement. The Ld. Advocate for the defendant no. 2 submitted that due to personal difficulty and ill health, defendant no. 2 could not file written statement within time. The Ld. Advocate for the plaintiff opposed the NM on the count that defendant no. 2 has not given any cogent reason for delay and prayed for dismissal of NM.
              The defendant no. 2, on oath, submitted that he was unable to file the written statement as he was unwell and was in some personal difficulty.  There is nothing to counter the submission of defendant no. 2.  Thus it appears that delay is sufficiently explained. There should not be hyper technical and pedantic approach in dealing with such type of motion . In the interest of justice the Notice of Motion needs consideration.   Hence it is expedient to pass following order.
    ORDER
    1.  Draft Notice of Motion is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a) to (c) subject to costs of the Rs. 5,000/- to be paid by defendant no. 2 to the plaintiff within a period of six weeks from today
