Registry has submitted a report stating that written statement filed by the sole defendant was efiled on 10.09.2023 vide E.D.No.828 of 2023. The 120 days period, which is the maximum period for filing written statement, expires admittedly only on 12.09.2023. However, on an erroneous representation made by the learned counsel for the defendant that the written statement was filed on 26.09.2023, this Court forfeited the right of the defendant to file the written statement. Now, to recall the earlier order dated 19.10.2023 forfeiting the right of the defendant to file the written statement, this application has been filed.

¶5

The learned counsel for the defendant would submit that a condone delay application has also been filed into the Registry to condone the delay in filing the written statement.

¶6

The learned counsel for the respondents/plaintiffs has stated no objection for allowing this application, provided the same is restricted only for the purpose of filing written statement by the defendant.
