Say filed by adv. for
Adv. Mr. Mallom Siganporia along with Adv. Jinal Vani for defendant No. 1 and 2 present.
Heard both sides on NM No.328 of 2020
Following order is passed below Notice of Motion No.328/2020
          Perused notice of motion, affidavit in support of it, reply of plaintiff and roznama of proceeding. Heard respective counsel for parties.
           Notice of motion is taken out by the defendant No.3 for condoning delay caused in filing written statement and to take the same on record.
        It is the contention of defendant No.3 that writ of summons was served upon them on 27.11.2019. Due to vacations their advocate was not available so authorised signatory of these defendant could not contact their advocate for finalizing the written statement. Consequently, they failed to file their written statement within stipulated period.  It is further contended that as soon as their advocate resumed their authorised signatory contacted her and finalized written statement.  But, delay has already been caused in filing written statement.  It is further contended that delay caused is not intentional or willful.  Accordingly, they made prayer in above terms.
        Plaintiff through advocate filed reply on notice of motion itself and leave it to the discretion of this Court.
      On perusal of roznama it appears that defendant No.3 appeared through their advocate on 13.12.2019 and their advocate waived service of writ of summons. However, defendant No.3 fairly conceded that writ of summons was served upon them on 27.11.2019.  They ought to have filed written statement within 30 days from the date of service of summons but they failed to do so.  They have taken out present notice of motion on 18.01.2020.  Thus, there is delay of about 22 days in taking out present notice of motion.  They assigned reason of non availability of advocate due to vacation as reason for not filing written statement within stipulated period. Reason assigned appears to be bona-fide as it is clear that as soon as advocate resumed written statement has been finalized. Therefore, considering the amended proviso to Order VIII Rule 1 of CPC applicable to the commercial dispute, I am inclined to allow present notice of motion subject to imposition of costs. Hence, pass following order-
ORDER
1.   Notice of Motion No.328 of 2020 is allowed and made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a) subject to payment of costs of Rs.1000/- (Rupees one Thousand only) to the plaintiff on or before 27.01.2020.
      Defendant No.3 is at liberty to deposit costs payable to the plaintiff in the Court.
2.   After payment of costs, defendant No.3 has to file their written statement on next date i.e. 27.01.2020.
3.     Accordingly, notice of motion is disposed off.
With consent of parties adjourned to 27.01.2020 for NM hearing.
