Murari Prasad vs Puniya Devi & Ors on 12 July, 2016

It appears that earlier the defendants were debarred from filing the written statement. Subsequently they appeared and filed application for condoning the delay and for accepting the written statement. The court below considered the grounds for condoning the delay and thereafter considered the settled principles of law and held, for the interest of justice, that the written statement filed by defendants is to be accepted. Therefore, the court below awarded cost and then has accepted the written statement. Therefore, in my opinion, it cannot be said that the court below has no jurisdiction to accept the written statement even after 90 days. It has already been held by the Hon'ble Patna High Court CWJC No.1025 of 2016 (2) dt.12-07-2016 2 Supreme Court in the case of Sandeep Thapar Vs. SME Technologies Private Limited, 2014 (2) P.L.J.R. 284 (SC) that power of Court to extend time for filing written statement beyond time schedule prescribed by Rule 1 is not taken away completely. Extension of time is permissible not in a routine manner but only if it was needed to be given in exception cases so as to grave injustice. In the present case, the Court considered the explanation for delay and thereafter it has condoned the same and extended time. The written statement has already been filed, which has been accepted.
