The petitioner is defendant in the civil suit (CS 128/2015) instituted by the respondent. He claims to have been served with the summons on 21.11.2015. He appeared, as per submission, for the first time in the trial Court on 08.02.2016 but since written statement had not been filed till then the opportunity was closed. He moved an application on 10.02.2016 seeking recall of the said order tendering therewith the written statement. The application thus moved was considered and disposed of on 20.12.2017 whereby the request was declined. It is not understood as to why it took such a long time for the trial Court to consider the said application. The request to place on record the written statement which had been tendered with the application within three months of the date of stated service has been declined with reference to observations of this Court in CM (M) 813/2017, Leena Devi Vs. Sunil Aggarwal , decided on 02.08.2017. CM(M) 163/2018 page 1 of 2
