12. The learned counsel also referred to a judgment delivered in the
case of Topline Shoes Ltd. v. Corporation Bank [(2002) 6 SCC 33].
This Court was faced with the same issue in the aforestated case. After
discussing the provisions of Section 13(2) of the Act, this Court came to
the conclusion that procedural rules should not be considered as
mandatory in nature. In the said case, ultimately, this Court came to
the conclusion that provision contained in Section 13(2)(a) of the Act is
procedural in nature. According to the said judgment, the object behind
enactment of the Act is speedy disposal of cases pending before the
District Forum and therefore, it has been provided that reply should be
filed within 30 days and the extension of time may not exceed 15 days.
It has been further observed that no penal consequences have been
provided in the case of extension of time beyond 15 days and therefore,
the said provision with regard to extension of time beyond a particular
limit is directory in nature and that would not mean that extension of
time cannot exceed 15 days.
