CORAM :A.S.OKA,J. DATE : AUGUST 28, 2009 P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners in support of these writ petitions under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The challenge in these writ petitions filed by the petitioners-original plaintiffs is to the orders passed by the trial court by which the defendants have been permitted to file on record their written statement subject to payment of costs. 2 The submission of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners is that the suit will be governed by the amendment made to the Code of Civil Procedure,1908 in the year 2002. He submitted that the written statement was 2 allowed to be filed after expiry of period of 2 years and 7 months from the date on which the time stipulated by the law expired. He submitted that there were no extraordinary or exceptional reasons recorded in the applications made by the concerned defendants and therefore, the court had no jurisdiction to allow them to file the written statement. 3 The petitioners have invoked extraordinary jurisdiction of this court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The jurisdiction of this court under Article 227 is in the nature of the power of superintendence to ensure that all courts subordinate to this court act within their bounds. While exercising extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, it is not necessary to interfere with each and every order which may be illegal. What has been done by the impugned orders is that the defendants have been permitted to file their written statement for defending the suit. This is not a case to interfere in extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Petitions are rejected. Hearing of the suits is expedited. The trial court will conclude the trial expeditiously and preferably before end of April 2010. 4 In view of rejection of the writ petitions, Civil 3 Application no.1975 of 2009 in W.P.No.1676 of 2008 does not survive and the same is disposed of.
