This is an appeal against the rejection of a Notice of<\/p>\n<p>    Motion    which      has   resulted in the suit          being        proceeded<\/p>\n<p>    without       Written      Statement      against       the       appellants-\n<\/p>\n<p>    defendants.\n<\/p>\n<p>    2.    The appellants took out a Notice of Motion to have the<\/p>\n<p>    order    dated      17.6.2008 set aside and taking               the     Written<\/p>\n<p>    Statement      on    record.    On 26.6.1998 the Court              passed        an<\/p>\n<p>    order    directing      that    if the Written        Statement          is     not<\/p>\n<p>    filed,    the    suit should appear for ex parte                 decree.          On<\/p>\n<p>    17.6.2008,      the    learned    Judge    noted      that       the     Written<\/p>\n<p>    Statement      was not filed and, hence, ordered that the suit<\/p>\n<p>    should<\/p>\n<p>    learned<br \/>\n              be    proceeded<br \/>\n                             ig    without     Written       Statement.\n<\/p>\n<p>               Judge trying the suit has declined to condone the<br \/>\n                                                                                    The<\/p>\n<p>    delay    of 3683 days in filing the Written Statement.                          The<\/p>\n<p>    learned Judge has observed that on 11.12.1997 the suit was<\/p>\n<p>    transferred to the list of undefended suits and no efforts<\/p>\n<p>    have    been    made by the defendants to have this order                       set<\/p>\n<p>    aside    and    even though an order was made              directing           that<\/p>\n<p>    Written    Statement       may be accepted within two weeks                    from<\/p>\n<p>    the    date    when the matter was on board on 26.6.1998,                       the<\/p>\n<p>    defendants      did    not avail of the time and failed to                     file<\/p>\n<p>    the    Written Statement.        When the matter came up again                    on<\/p>\n<p>    board    on    17.6.2008, the Court passed an order                   that      the<\/p>\n<p>    suit    should      proceed without a Written Statement                  in     the<\/p>\n<p>    presence      of the Advocate.      That order was interpreted                    by<\/p>\n<p>    the defendants as an order granting time to the defendants<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                       ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:01:05 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -: 3 :-<\/span><br \/>\n    to    file    Written Statement.        Accordingly, the               defendants<\/p>\n<p>    declared       the       Written    Statement      on         1.7.2008            and,<\/p>\n<p>    thereafter,        filed the Written Statement.               Apart from           the<\/p>\n<p>    alleged      misinterpretation        of   the    order         of     17.6.2008,<\/p>\n<p>    according to the defendants, they did not file the Written<\/p>\n<p>    Statement      for      all this time because there               were      various<\/p>\n<p>    litigations        between    the parties and they were trying                       to<\/p>\n<p>    settle      the    matter.     The     talks     of      settlement           failed<\/p>\n<p>    sometime      in    2003.    The learned trial Judge has                   rejected<\/p>\n<p>    the permission to file the Written Statement on the ground<\/p>\n<p>    that    the defendants failed to file the Written                        Statement<\/p>\n<p>    prior    to December 1997;          that they did not challenge                    the<\/p>\n<p>    order dated 11.12.1997, did not file the Written Statement<\/p>\n<p>    as per the order dated 26.6.1998 after talks of settlement<\/p>\n<p>    failed.       It    cannot be said that the learned trial                       Judge<\/p>\n<p>    has    not    taken correctly appreciating the failure of                          the<\/p>\n<p>    defendants to file Written Statement.                  However, it appears<\/p>\n<p>    that    though      the defendants had an opportunity of                      filing<\/p>\n<p>    the    Written Statement within two weeks of 26.6.1998,                            the<\/p>\n<p>    matter,      in    fact, did not come up for hearing for a                        long<\/p>\n<p>    time    i.e.      till 17.6.2008.      It was not as if the                 failure<\/p>\n<p>    of    the    defendants      to    file the    Written          Statement          has<\/p>\n<p>    obstructed the Court from proceeding to decide the suit by<\/p>\n<p>    passing      an    ex    parte decree sometime in             the      year       1998<\/p>\n<p>    itself or even soon thereafter.             While it is true that the<\/p>\n<p>    defendants        ought to have taken adequate steps to file the<\/p>\n<p>    Written Statement within the time stipulated by the Court,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:01:05 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                         -: 4 :-<\/span><br \/>\n    it   is difficult to ignore the reality that the matter did<\/p>\n<p>    not come up on board for a long time thereafter.\n<\/p>\n<p>    3.   <a href=\"\/doc\/1429369\/\">In    Saga   Department Stores Limited     v.       Falak        Home<\/p>\n<p>    Developers Pvt.    Ltd.<\/a>   (2008 Vol.   110 (7) Bom.L.R.             2370)<\/p>\n<p>    this Court has held as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              &#8220;6.   The expression &#8220;Justice of the case<br \/>\n              may require&#8221; is equivalent to &#8220;in the<\/p>\n<p>              interest of justice&#8221; or &#8220;ends of Justice&#8221;.<br \/>\n              Thus, the paramount consideration under the<br \/>\n              scheme of the rules is to achieve justice<br \/>\n              rather than frustrate rights of the parties<br \/>\n              on technical ground, particularly when the<\/p>\n<p>              rights of the other party can be protected<br \/>\n              by such terms as may appear in the opinion<br \/>\n              of the Court to be just and proper.     The<\/p>\n<p>              High Court, Original Side Rules, which will<br \/>\n              prevail   and take    precedence over the<br \/>\n              provisions of the Civil Procedure Code,<br \/>\n              also indicate that the provisions under the<\/p>\n<p>              Rules   are not as     stringent   as   the<br \/>\n              provisions of the Code in regard to the<br \/>\n              defaults.   The scheme of the High Court,<br \/>\n              Original Side Rules is that where the<br \/>\n              written   statement   is    not  filed   as<br \/>\n              contemplated under Rule 74, the course is<\/p>\n<p>              not provided that a decree will follow as a<br \/>\n              natural consequence or automatically. The<\/p>\n<p>              Court   is still to      fix the suit    as<br \/>\n              undefended and then pass such Orders as it<br \/>\n              may deem fit and proper in the facts of the<br \/>\n              case including requiring the Plaintiff to<br \/>\n              prove his claim.     This    may result in<\/p>\n<p>              passing of a Judgement and a decree but<br \/>\n              even before that stage, the Defendant has<br \/>\n              been given liberty to take out a notice of<br \/>\n              motion for permission to file       written<br \/>\n              statement and taking such other pleas in<br \/>\n              the suit which can be allowed by the Court<\/p>\n<p>              subject to such terms and conditions as may<br \/>\n              be deemed fit and proper in terms of Rule<br \/>\n              91 of the said Rules. Interestingly, the<br \/>\n              provisions of Rule 265 are in addition to<br \/>\n              and not in derogation to the relevant<br \/>\n              provisions contained in Rules 88 to 91.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                              ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:01:05 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                Rule 226, in fact, completely dilutes the<br \/>\n                impact of specified period provided under<br \/>\n                the rules where the parties by consent in<br \/>\n                writing can enlarge the time for amending<br \/>\n                or filing pleadings or       of filing any<br \/>\n                delivery of documents.

Having regard to the observations made by this Court<\/p>\n<p>    and    in    the circumstances of the present case,                we     find<\/p>\n<p>    that    denying      the   defendants    an   opportunity          to     file<\/p>\n<p>    Written      Statement     would    frustrate the     rights         of     the<\/p>\n<p>    parties,      rather    than   achieve    justice.        As     indicated<\/p>\n<p>    earlier,       the    circumstances     would    have       been        quite<\/p>\n<p>    different      if    the   Court intended to pass         a    decree        in<\/p>\n<p>    favour       of   the   plaintiffs      after   calling        upon         the<\/p>\n<p>    plaintiffs to prove their claim.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                    ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:01:05 :::<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                              -:    6   :-\n<\/p>\n<p>    5.    In this case, even though the matter was on board for<\/p>\n<p>    filing    Written Statement as early as 26.6.1998 when                         the<\/p>\n<p>    Court    granted    two weeks&#8217; time for the purpose and                      even<\/p>\n<p>    though    the Court passed an order directing that the suit<\/p>\n<p>    should    proceed ex parte, no such proceedings took place.\n<\/p>\n<p>    It    appears    that,    in fact, no order for            proceeding           ex<\/p>\n<p>    parte    under    rule 89 of the Bombay High Court                  (Original<\/p>\n<p>    Side)    Rules, hereinafter referred to as the &#8220;Rules&#8221;, was<\/p>\n<p>    made    till    17.6.2008.      It is also relevant to note                  that<\/p>\n<p>    the plaintiffs did not take out any application for issue<\/p>\n<p>    of a Notice of Motion for a judgement for want of Written<\/p>\n<p>    Statement at any time after 26.6.1998 as provided by rule<\/p>\n<p>    90 of the Rules.\n<\/p>\n<p>    6.     In the circumstances of the case, we are of opinion,<\/p>\n<p>    that denying an opportunity to the defendants to file the<\/p>\n<p>    Written Statement would frustrate their rights.                       However,<\/p>\n<p>    we    cannot be oblivious of their negligence in not filing<\/p>\n<p>    the    Written Statement within the time stipulated by                         law<\/p>\n<p>    and    by the Court.      In the circumstances of the case,                     we<\/p>\n<p>    consider    it    appropriate to permit them to file                    Written<\/p>\n<p>    Statement,      however,      on payment of costs in the                sum     of<\/p>\n<p>    Rs.50,000\/-       (Rupees      Fifty    Thousand        only)         to       the<\/p>\n<p>    plaintiffs.      Order accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>    7.    The appeal stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                       ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:01:05 :::<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            -:   7   :-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                         CHIEF JUSTICE<\/p>\n<p>                         S.A.
