IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1778 of 2008 BHULOTEN SAH @ PALTAN SAH & ORS Versus LAKSHMINA DEVI & ORS ----------- 2. 24.10.2008 No one appears for the petitioners. For the reasons mentioned in I.A.No. 6311/2008 the delay in filing this revision application is condoned. In the opinion of this Court even if an application was sought to be rejected for acceptance of the written statement by recalling the order debarring the petitioners from filing written statement, the same had to be accompanied with some reason. The partition suit was of the year 2006 in which a number of defendants were yet to appear. That apart when an application was filed giving certain reasons for delay in filing of the written statement the same ought to have been examined and allowed even by way of compensating the plaintiff for the delay caused by the petitioners in filing the written statement. In that view of the matter, the impugned order is set aside and the written statement filed by the petitioners is 2 directed to be taken on record, subject to the condition of payment of a cost of Rs.2500/- to be paid by the petitioners to the plaintiff. With the aforementioned observation, this application is allowed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
