Kept back.
L.o. at 4. 20 p.m. Adv. Sachin Shetye I/b Adv. Sudhakar Pandaram for defendant and Adv. Satish Rao for plaintiff are present.
Adv. Pandaram filed affidavit in reply and vakalatnama.
Heard, respective advocates. Perused the affidavit filed in support of the NM as well as affidavit filed by the defendant. There is delay of 2178 days in taking out the NM. The order for dismissal of the suit was passed on 15.04.2013. The plaintiff is seeking restoration of the S.C. Suit No. 5789 of 2006. Both the Ld. Advocates submitted to the orders of this Court. It appears from record that after transfer of suit no. 209 of 2006 from the Hon''ble High Court to the City Civil Court, due to absence of the plaintiff the suit was dismissed for want of prosecution. The plaintiff took out NM No. 1448 of 2019 on 04.04.2019.
Considering the rival submissions and in order to decide the matter on merits by avoiding multiplicity of proceedings, it is just and proper to allow the NM. The prejudice which may be caused to the defendant can be compensated in terms of costs. Thus the following order is passed -
The NM No. 1448 of 2019 is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a) and (b) subject to payment of costs Rs. 5000/- to be paid to defendant or deposited the same in the Court for that purpose within a period of two weeks from today. Upon compliance of this order the suit no. 5789 of 2006 will be restored to the file of this Court.
