Heard argument of Ld. Advocate for the plaintiff and defendant no. 2 on NM no. 2847/2019.
FRSR following order is passed on NM no. 2847/2019
This notice of motion is tendered by defendant no. 2 inter-alia for condoning the delay of 192 days in filing written statement. Defendant no. 2 submitted that the defendant no. 2 was not aware about the pendency of the suit. She was never served with the writ of summons. Defendant no. 2 was informed by the defendant nos. 1 and 4 about the present suit. She submitted that she did not get the leave from the work . She approached the lawyer and came to know about the order passed in the matter. She is financially weak and unable to engage advocate. Therefore, it took time for her to file the present NM.
The Ld. counsel for the plaintiff opposed the present NM on the count that the defendant no. 2 is not illiterate and working in the rice shop Vashi Market and getting daily wages of Rs. 500/-. The defendant no. 2 has not given the satisfactory explanation for delay.
On perusal of the original writ of summons it appears that, the defendant no. 2 refused to sign on writ of summons and informed the bailiff that she is not Jayashree Borade but she is Jayashri Kuradkar. It appears that the writ of summons was duly served upon the defendant no. 2. The ground put forth by the defendant no .2 that she was not served with writ of summons is contrary to the record. Be that as it may, the matter is at initial stage. Substantial rights of the parties are involved. Defendant no. 2 is come in the case to contest the matter and therefore in the interest of justice NM is required to be considered. Hence it is expedient to pass following order.
ORDER

2. Payment of costs is subject precedent.
