    Date: 12-02-2020
    Business: Adv. Suresh Surve for plaintiff present.
    Adv. Manoj Kane for deft. nos.1 and 2 present.
    Plaintiff filed reply to N/M no.3154/19.  T.O.R.
    ORDER IN N/M NO.3154/19
    Heard.  This N/M is tendered by defts. seeking condonation of delay in filing W/S.  Counsel for defts. submitted that deft. no.1 is 78 years old and is not keeping well.  He was admitted thrice in Lilawati Hospital for treatment of kidney and has to go for dialysis alternate day.  Deft. no.2 has to take care of deft. no.1 and also she has to care of her husband who is handicapped.  For the said reasons, defts. could not provide information to the advocate for filing W/S and therefore seeks leave of this court to file W/S.
    The N/M is opposed mainly on the ground that the reasons for delay are not justifiable.  The defts. were casual in their approach.  Deft. no.1 approached to Prothonotary Sr. Master, Hon\''ble High Court for obtaining the certified copy of the testamentary petition.  The decision of Prothonotary for granting certified copy to the deft. no.1 was challenged and it was held by the Hon\''ble High Court that deft. no.1 is not entitled for certified copy. He would submit that sufficient cause is not made out by the deft.
    The contention of the defts. that deft. no.1 is unwell is not supported by any document.  The reason assigned by the defts. do not appear to be justifiable.
    Be that as it may, the matter is not cropped up for evidence and is at initial stage.  The delay is of two months 29 days.  The substantial rights of the parties are involved.  If hyper-technical and pedantic approach is taken in such type of matter, then it would amount to deny the substantial rights of the parties.  No prejudice would be caused to the plaintiff if W/S is taken on record. It would be in the interest of parties if the matter is decided on merits.  Hence, in the interest of justice, N/M needs consideration and therefore, it is expedient to pass the following order.
    ORDER
    1.    N/M No.3154/19 is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a) subject to cost of Rs.2,500/- to be paid by defts. to plaintiff within a period of two weeks from today.
    2.    Payment of cost is subject precedent.
    3.    On payment of cost, the W/S be taken on record.
    4.    N/M No.3154/19 is disposed off accordingly.
    The matter is adjd for compliance and reply on N/M to 26.03.2020.

    Business: Adv. Raje for plff is present.
    Adv. Gosavi for deft is present.
    Adv.for deft tendered original registered NM No. 1358/21. T.O.R.
    Plaintiff filed reply to NM No.1358/21.
                        Order below NM No. 1358/21
    Perused the notice of motion and reply. Heard Ld. Adv.of both the sides. As per order dtd. 22.03.2021 Notice of Motion No. 1899/19 was proceeded without reply. It is matter of record that the reply to Notice of Motion No. 1899/19 was ready in all respect and also has been placed on record. However, the order dtd. 22.03.2021 being passed, this notice of motion is taken out the set aside the same. The contents of para no.1 in the affidavit in support executed by defendant no.1 Kantilal Shah discloses about mistake being committed by junior lawyer. It is trite law that for any mistake of advocate the litigant should not suffer. Thus by imposing the cost in my opinion the reply which is already filed can be taken on record and Notice of Motion No. 1899/19 can be heard on merits. Therefore in the interest of Justice, I pass the following order-
                                           ORDER
    Notice of Motion No. 1358/21 is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) subject to defendant paying cost of Rs. 2,000/-(Rupees two thousand only) to the plaintiff within two weeks from today. Notice of Motion No. 1358/21 stands disposed of accordingly.
