THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO C.R.P.Nos.1659 and 1892 of 2008 Dated 8th July, 2010 Between: …petitioner And …respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO C.R.P.Nos.1659 and 1892 of 2008 ORDER: Both the revisions are connected with each other hence they are being taken up together for disposal. The petitioner by way of these two revisions under Article 227 of the Constitution of India seeks to assail the orders rejecting both the applications one for receiving the written statement and another to condone the delay of 7 days in filing the written statement. Admittedly, the suit is one for injunction and when the matter was posted and the matter came on the day it was posted, petitioner could not file written statement however, now along with the aforesaid applications he filed the written statement. Court below did not find it appropriate to show any indulgence and dismissed the same. Hence the revision. Having heard the counsel and on perusal of the material, it is seen that the suit is at the threshold and that too a suit for bare injunction. No doubt, the matter is posted for filing written statement however there is certain delay on the part of the petitioner. Be that as it may, the court has to bear in mind that every endeavour should be made to aid the parties but not to punish the parties. Further, every attempt should be made to see that every Lis is decided on merits after contesting rather than deciding on one sided pleadings. In view of the same, the Court below was not right in rejecting such application. Accordingly, both the revisions are allowed. The orders dated 26-3-2008 passed by the Court below in I.A.No.Nos.69 and 67 of 2007 in O.S.No.31 of 2006 are set aside and the same stands allowed. No costs. ________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO,J) Date: 8th July, 2010 grk
