Despite service of the Notice of Motion, the Defendant has not filed any reply. At ad-interim stage, my learned predecessor on 25th June, 2006 passed an order in terms of prayer clause (a) of the Notice of Motion. This order is still in force. 2. On perusal of the earlier order, it is clear that this Court has recorded a finding that the articles published by the Defendant in his newspaper were ex-facie defamatory to the Plaintiff. The order passed at the ad-interim stage has probably proved effective and there is no further grievance to the : 2 : Plaintiff. 3. I think the earlier order should dispose of the Notice of Motion itself. The Notice of Motion is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). 4. The learned Counsel for the Plaintiff shall take further steps in the matter if the written statement is not filed within time. [A.V. [A.V. [A.V. NIRGUDE, J.] NIRGUDE, J.] NIRGUDE, J.]
