BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/01/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs. S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.1939 OF 2010 -------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of January 2010 ---------------------------------------------------------- JUDGMENT Petitioner is the 7th defendant in O.S No. 199 of 2008 on the file of Principal Munsiff Court, Kozhikode. Suit is one for redemption and for injunction, and the respondents 8 to 53 are the plaintiffs and the other respondents, codefendents. Admittedly, petitioner/7thdefendant did not file the written statement within the time fixed by the court. An application moved by the petitioner under Section 148 and 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure seeking extension of time was turned down vide Ext.P3 order. Propriety and correctness of that order is challenged in the writ petition invoking the supervisory jurisdiction vested with this court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Having regard to the submissions made and taking note of the facts and circumstances presented, I find no notice to the respondents is necessary, and hence it is dispensed with. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the W.P.(C).No.1939 OF 2010 Page numbers case now stands posted to 27/01/2010, for filing of written statement by the additionally impleaded defendants. Having regard to the nature of the suit and the reliefs claimed and also that preliminary steps for trial are not over, with the present posting of case only for filing of written statement by some other defendants additionally impleaded in the suit, I find some indulgence can be shown to the present petitioner also in accepting his written statement. So much so there will be a direction to the court below to receive the written statement of the petitioner/7th defendant, if it is filed on or before 27/01/2010, the time fixed for filing of the written statement by the additional defendants. If the petitioner files the written statement on or before 27/01/2010, it shall be treated as having been filed within the time. Writ petition is disposed as indicated above. Hand over a copy of the judgment to the learned counsel for the petitioner. Sd/- S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JUDGE //TRUE COPY// vdv P.A TO JUDGE
