Shri Harsh T. Pawar, advocate for the plaintiff.
Shri Chandrabhan R. Yadav, advocate for the Defendant.
Coram : Shri B.T. Zirape, I/c. Judge.
C.R. No. 40 (B.B.)
Date : 23.06.2022.
Oral Order :
1) Perused the application and say of defendant. Perused
record and proceeding. Heard both the learned advocates at
length. This is an application filed by the defendant for setting
aside no reply order passed below Exh. 13 on 29.03.2022. It is
contended by the defendant that reply of application Exh. 13 was
made and confirmed by the defendant. However, the defendant
could not file it before the court as the presiding officer of this
court was on leave on 11.11.2021. The copy of said reply is
already served to the plaintiff. But the copy of said reply is not
produced on record.
2) Matter was taken before the Incharge court by the
-- 1 of 3 --

plaintiff without any notice to the defendant. The defendant was
unable to attend the matter at the relevant time. The defendant
has already served the reply on plaintiff. The defendant is ready to
produce reply on record. Finally, the defendant has requested for
grant of application.
3) The plaintiff resisted the application by filing say on
the backside of this application. It is contended by the plaintiff
that the advocate for the defendant has to file reply at the earliest
so as to enable the plaintiff to seek relief from the court in terms
of the transit rehabilitation of all tenants who are shelterless.
4) After hearing the rival submissions of parties, I have
gone through the record and proceeding of the present matter.
Present suit appears to be filed for declaration of tenancy rights.
The defendant has not filed copy of reply alongwith present
application. Today, the defendant produced the copies of reply on
record. However, the defendant has already served copy of reply
to the plaintiff. The defendant failed to file reply on record till
today. Therefore, no reply order was passed against the defendant.
The reply of defendant to the application Exh. 13 i.e. injunction
application will be helpful for deciding the real controversy
between the parties on merit. Therefore, considering the reasons
mentioned in the application, I am of the view that no reply order
passed against the defendant needs to be set aside in the interest
of justice. The defendant already served the copy of reply to the
plaintiff. Therefore, I am of the view that there is no need to
saddle any costs on defendant while granting the present
application. In this view of the matter, I proceed to pass the
following order :
-- 2 of 3 --
3 Exh 14 in R.A.D. Suit No. 216/2021
ORDER
1) The application is allowed as observed above.
2) The no reply order passed against the
defendant below Exh. 13 is hereby set aside in
the interest of justice.
3) Reply of defendant be taken on record.
