P.C.:

1.

This matter is brought on board on the application of the defendant/respondent to the counter claim. On 08/12/2015 this Court made absolute the Notice of Motion taken out by the applicant/plaintiff to the counter claim for setting aside the dismissal of the counter claim. The order mentions that there is no reply filed by the respondent to the Notice of Motion. The learned counsel for the respondent produces a

mub 907 nms 1657.15 odt copy of a praecipe addressed to the Prothonotary and Seniormaster for taking on record the respondents' reply to the Notice of Motion. Receipt of the praecipe together with the affidavit is acknowledged by the office of Prothonotary and Seniormaster as of 28/10/2015. So also, learned counsel for the respondent produces a copy of the covering letter addressed by the advocates of the respondent to the advocates of the applicant enclosing a copy of this reply. Even this is acknowledged by the advocates of the applicant as of 28/10/2015. The statement made in the order of 08/12/2015, referred to above, is incorrect to that extent and the same stands corrected. It is clarified that respondent to the counter claim has duly filed a reply to the Notice of Motion. 2.
