IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 526 OF 2008 SMT. MARIA AUGUSTA DINIZ LOURENCO AND ANR., ... Petitioners Versus SHRI. ANANT LAXMAN BORKAR AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. Arjun F. Naik, Advocate for the petitioners. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 16th October, 2008 P.C. This petition is directed against the order passed by the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Ponda in Regular Civil Suit No.13/2004/A allowing the application of the defendants to file the written statement beyond the period of 90 days under Order VIII Rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Code. Having heard the learned counsel Mr. Naik for the petitioners, I find no merit in the present petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioners states that the matter is fixed for evidence. The impugned order was passed on 10.10.2006. As such, the question of interfering with the impugned order at this stage does not arise. Hence the petition is dismissed. A. P. LAVANDE, J. lh/.
