M/s Focus Paper Pvt. Ltd. VS. M/s Biotropic Pharma Pvt. Ltd. Page 6 of 15
extension of time made by the defendant shall not be granted just as a
matter of routine and merely for asking, more so when the period of
90 days has expired. Extension of time may be allowed by way of an
exception, for reasons to be assigned by the defendant and also be
placed on record in writing, howsoever briefly, by the Court on its
being satisfied. Extension of time may be allowed if it was needed to
be given for the circumstances which are exceptional, occasioned by
reasons beyond the control of the defendant and grave injustice would
be occasioned if the time was not extended. Costs may be imposed
and affidavit of documents in support of the grounds pleaded by the
defendant for extension of time may be demanded, depending on the
facts and circumstances of a given case."
