Adv. V.S. Khobragade for defendant No.2/MHADA.
Learned counsel of plaintiff submitted that he desires to file say to notice of motion. 3772/2023. Permission granted.
Advocate for plaintiff endorsed say on notice of motion no.3372/2023 itself.
Heard argument of both sides on NM No.3772/2023.
Order on Notice of Motion No.3772 of 2023
Perused notice of motion, affidavit in support thereof and say endorsed by advocate for plaintiff. Heard both sides.
There is delay of 30 days in filing written statement, therefore defendant filed this notice of motion for condoning delay in presenting written statement. Defendant No.1 submits that it was served with suit summons on 28.07.2023, the defendant No.1 engaged an advocate. She appeared before Court on 31.07.2023. Thereafter defendant No.1 changed its advocate. The new advocate of defendant No.1 requested plaintiffs advocate to give inspection of original documents through e-mail. But there was no response from plaintiffs counsel. This caused delay in filing written statement. Defendant No.1 prayed accordingly.
Learned counsel of plaintiff submitted that he has filed affidavit of evidence. He prayed for rejecting this notice of motion.
There is a small delay of 30 days in filing written statement. Though the reason assigned by defendant No.1 is not enough to condone delay. Matter relates to immovable property. Such litigation deals with lifetime earnings of people. Therefore in such litigation, it is always desirable to grant opportunity to parties to contest the suit. Therefore in the interest of justice, it is a fit case to exercised discretion in favour of defendant No.1. With this I pass following order
ORDER
1) Notice of Motion No.3772 of 2023 is allowed subject to cost of Rs.1000/- payable to plaintiff.
2) Written statement of defendant No.1 shall be taken on record after defendant No.1 pays cost to plaintiff.
3) Notice of Motion No.3772 of 2023 stands disposed off.
Cost of Rs.1,000/- paid to advocate of plaintiff by advocate for defendant No.1.
Written statement of defendant No.1. taken on record and marked as Exh.8. O-R and R.
