IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.643 of 2006 BASANT LAL MASKARA Versus POONAM DEVI ----------- 3. 11.8.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner. In the opinion of this Court the impugned order seeking to reject the written statement of the petitioner on the ground that it was sent by post through a Vakalatnama executed by the petitioner, who is the opposite party in the court below, is not correct. It is true that the petitioner had no business to send the Vakalatnama to the court but such a situation may be also on account of lack of knowledge or an inadvertent error and that by itself should not have enraged the court below. Counsel for the petitioner undertakes on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner will appear within a period of four weeks from today before the court below and would contest the matrimonial case brought by his wife Poonam Devi. He further undertakes that in case the petitioner is absent without any reasonable cause, the court may proceed ex-parte against him. 2 In that view of the matter, this Court would allow this civil revision application by setting aside the impugned order and directing the court below to proceed with Matrimonial Case No.(Marriage case) 98/2005 expeditiously so that the same is concluded within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
