    Business: Matter called out at 12.35 p.m.
    None present.
    Kept back.
    Later on at 1.43 p.m.
    Adv. Rupali Sathe for plaintiff present.
    Adv. A. S. Kapse for defendant present. He tendered draft NM for condonation of delay in filing WS.
    O-leave granted to register.
    Heard both the sides.
    Perused motion and affidavit in support.
    Ld. Advocate for plaintiff fairly conceded that writ of summons is not yet served upon the defendant.  Defendant appeared upon personal notice of the plaintiff which was served on 14.09.2021. Admittedly, the Hon\''ble Apex Court suspended the limitation period from 15.03.2020 to 01.10.2021.  I am of the view that the limitation in the present case would commence only after 01.10.2021.  Hence, there is no question of delay.
    Therefore, the draft NM could be allowed and defendant can be permitted to file their WS on record within a period of 30 days from the date of order.
    The defendant waived the service of writ of summons.
    In view of the above, draft NM is disposed of.
    Defendant to register the NM for statistical purpose.
    Draft NM is handed over to the advocate of defendant for registration.
