: 1 : FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL REVISION APPLICATION NO.20 OF 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda Court’s or Judge’s orders of Coram, appearances, Court’s . orders or directions and . Registrar’s orders . -------------------------------------------------------------- Mr.A.F. Quardi for the Applicant. None for the Respondents. CORAM : S.J. VAZIFDAR, J. DATED : 29TH APRIL, 2008. P.C. : 1. The Respondents are absent despite notice. The only reason I am inclined to interfere with the impugned order is that the learned advocate on behalf of the Applicant had himself submitted that the Respondents ought to be given an opportunity of contesting the claim. This is recorded in paragraph 6 of the impugned order. It is made clear however that this order ought not to be construed as liberty to the Applicant to file the written : 2 : statement which admittedly has not been filed todate. If the application for the same is made, it will be decided by the trial Court. 2. In the circumstances, the delay in filing the application is set-aside and the application for setting aside the order dated 31.8.2006 shall be heard on merits.
