    Order passed below Draft notice of motion
           Perused draft notice of motion, affidavit in support of it, say filed by plaintiffs and roznama of the proceeding. Heard respective counsel for parties.
           Draft notice of motion is taken out by the defendant to condone delay caused in filing of written statement and to take the same on record.
           It is contended by defendant that writ of summons was served upon him on 03.12.2019 but he could not file written statement within prescribed period of 30 days as he had been to his native place in Uttar Pradesh to attend his ailing mother and stayed there till 07.01.2020.  Therefore, he could not give instruction to his advocate to draft written statement and to file the same on record.  In above circumstances delay has been caused in filing written statement. Accordingly, he made prayers in above terms.
             Plaintiffs strongly objected to the present notice of motion by filing their say on notice of motion itself.
            Before adverting to the facts I would like to mention that it is a settled law that Order VIII Rule 1 of CPC is not mandatory and in specific circumstances written statement can be accepted with reasons. It is also held that in an adversarial system, no party should be denied an opportunity in participation of the justice dispensation system (Salem Bar Association V/s Union of India 2003 AIR SCC 189 and Zolba V/s Keshav 2008 AIR SCC 2099). In view of this legal position, now, I consider notice of motion.
            In present matter defendant has approached to this Court by taking out present notice of motion within period of 90 days from the date of service of writ of summons.  Delay caused in filing written statement cannot be said to be inordinate.  In my view, reason assigned is sufficient to condone delay caused in filing written statement.  Further, delay caused cannot be said to be deliberate and intentional. Defendant has shown his bona-fide by annexing written statement to draft notice of motion.  Thus, it is clear that defendant does not want to hinder the progress of the present matter.  In the facts of matter in the interest of justice and fair trial, I am inclined to allow draft notice of motion by imposing certain costs upon him.  Hence, pass following order
    ORDER
    1. Draft notice of motion is allowed and made absolute in terms of prayer clauses (a) and (b) subject to payment of costs of Rs.500/- (Rupees Five Hundred only) to the plaintiffs within period of one week from the date of this Order.
    Defendant is at liberty to deposit the costs payable to the plaintiffs in the Court.
    2 After payment of costs, written statement of defendant be taken on record and marked exhibit.
    3.Draft notice of motion be registered for statistical purpose.
    4.Accordingly, draft notice of motion is disposed off.
    Defendant paid the costs of Rs.500/to the advocate for plaintiff who accepted it on behalf of plaintiff
    Written statement of defendant. (Exh.3)
