A.No.1238 of 2022 in C.S.No.185 of 2019
P.VELMURUGAN, J.
This application has been filed seeking to condone the delay of 1021 days in filing the written statement together with the defence documents in the above suit. None appeared on behalf of the respondent/plaintiff.
2 Even though, the reasons stated in the affidavit filed in support of this application are not satisfied, in order to give an opportunity to the applicant/defendant to defend the suit, this Court is inclined to allow this application on payment of cost, since there is an inordinate delay in filing the written statement and reasons stated for the same are also not satisfied.
3 Accordingly, this application is allowed on payment of cost of Rs.1.00 Lakh and the applicant/defendant shall deposit the said amount before the Registry to the credit of C.S.No.185 of 2019, on or before 05.04.2022.
