This is a chamber summons for condoning delay in filing the appearance of the advocate as per Rule 226 of the Bombay High Court (Original Side) Rules and to permit the defendant to file appearance of the advocate to defend the suit. The Advocate for the defendant is absent. I have heard the Advocate for the plaintiff and perused the papers. It is the contention of the advocate that the affidavit in support was served upon him on 24.8.2006 but because of some difficulties he could contact his advocate in the first week of October, 2006. That, his advocate by letter dated 9.10.2006 applied to the Advocate for the plaintiff for consent for filing appearance but no reply was given to this letter and hence, the present chamber summons came to be filed. The Advocate for the plaintiff states that costs may be imposed in case the chamber summons is granted. In the interest of justice, explanation given in the affidavit is :2: accepted. Chamber summons is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) and (b) subject to payment of costs of Rs.2000/- which would be payable to the plaintiff within a period of four weeks from today. Payment of costs is a condition precedent and if the costs are not paid within a period of four weeks from today, the chamber summons to stand dismissed. (R. S. MOHITE, J.)
