ORDER
By way of this notice of motion defendant sought permission to
condone the delay in filing written statement and for permission to file
written statement on record.
2. In supporting affidavit of Smt. Lavanya Naghbushan Ege
defendant have submitted that plaintiff has filed this suit for recovery of
the amount against them in respect of the flat given to them in newly
constructed building under development project, which is pending
before this Court. As per provisions of O.VIII R.1 of C.P.C. defendant
should have filed written statement within 90 days,. However, as she
was not keeping goods health and suffering from Malayria she was
under medical treatment for about month. Therefore, she was unable to
give proper instructions to the counsel to file their written statement

within the period of 90 days. Therefore, she submitted that delay
occurred in filing written statement be condoned and notice of motion
be made absolute.
3. Learned counsel appearing for plaintiff on the overleaf of notice
of motion itself filed reply and consented for the prayer subject to costs.
4. Heard learned Advocate for both the sides. Perused the record
and submissions.
5. Considering the reasons mentioned at this initial stage of the suit,
if defendant is permitted to file written statement on record it will
subserve the ends of justice. It will also helpful to take out necessary
defence available to defendant to contest the suit. In absence thereof
they will suffer prejudice, as their right to defend the suit will close
forever. Therefore, for proper and meritorious adjudication of the
matter, it is necessary to permit defendant to file written statement on
record. The delay occurred in filing written statement is already
condoned. In such circumstances, notice of motion deserves to be
allowed. It will be proper to direct the parties to bear their costs.
Hence, I proceed to pass the following order :
ORDER
1. Notice of Motion No.1076 of 2019 in Suit No.1642 of 2018
is made absolute thereby delay in filing written statement is
condoned and defendant is permitted to file written
statement on record.
