Cosco (India) Limited vs Paramsukh Nirman Pvt. Ltd. on 31 July, 2019
8. On the other hand, ld. counsel for the Defendant has submitted that
the various reasons for the delay have been contained in the application for
condonation, which have also been captured by the Joint Registrar. She
places reliance on Chapter IV Rule 3 of the Delhi High Court (Original
Side) Rules, 2018 as also Chapter I Rule 14. The submission that she makes
is that since the admission/denial affidavit was finally brought with the
written statement within a period of 30 days from the initial filing, it would
have at best been defect being cured and not a non-filing. She further
submits that under Rule 14, the Court has the power to dispense with
compliance with the rules. Ld. counsel also relies upon the recent judgment
in Atlanta Limited v. National Highways & Infrastructure Development
Corporation Limited and Ors. in CS (COMM) 1231/2018 decided on 9th
July, 2019.
