Business: Adv. Muhammed Iftikhar Ali for plaintiffs present.
Adv. Mohanish Choudhari for defendant no. 1 present.
Defendant no. 1 tendered draft NM along with supporting affidavit and written statement. Leave is granted to register.
Heard Ld. counsel for the defendant no. 1 and plaintiffs on draft NM.
Order on draft Notice of Motion
The counsel for the defendant no. 1 submitted that the writ of summons without annexures was served upon defendant no. 1 on 1.9.2018. On 16.10.2018 the advocate for the defendant no. 1 appeared in the matter and no one from the side of the plaintiff appeared and the matter was adjourned to 13.11.2018. On 14.1.2019 the advocate for the defendant no.1 pointed out while appearing in the suit no. 731/18 that the plaintiffs have served writ of summons without annextures therefore written statement could not be filed. The plaintiffs served the annexures at the office of the advocate for defendant no. 1 on 24.1.2019. As the defendant no. 1 was not keeping well and therefore could not give instruction to his advocate for preparing written statement. Thereafter defendant no. 1 forgot to update his advocate. The defendant no. 1 was travelling for business and religious purpose therefore lost the track of the matter. The defendant no. 1 therefore now wish to file written statement and there is delay of 273 days for which he prayed for condoning it.
The Ld. Advocate for the plaintiff vehemently opposed the present NM on the count that the defendant No .1 has not made out sufficient cause for delay. He would submit that delay is intentional an deliberate. He would further submit that in order to substantiate the statement in affidavit the defendant no. 1 has not filed any document
The reason assigned by the defendant no. 1 is not supported by document. The reason assigned by the defendant no. 1 for delay does not appears to be justifiable. Be that as it may, the defendant no. 1 wish to participate in the proceeding. No doubt plaintiff has filed his affidavit of examination in chief and compilation of documents. The plaintiff is required to be compensated by costs if the delay is condoned. Even otherwise there should not be any hyper technical and pedantic approach in dealing with such type of motion. No prejudice would be caused to the plaintiffs if the written statement is taken on record. 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 Rs. 5,000/- to be paid by defendant no. 1 to the plaintiffs or their advocate within a period of 2 weeks from today.
2. Payment of costs is subject precedent.
3. On payment of costs written statement of defendant no.1 be taken on record.
4. Notice of Motion is disposed of accordingly and it be registered for the statistical purpose.
