The application has been filed seeking to condone the delay of 257 days in filing the written statement on behalf of the 1st defendant.

2. In the affidavit filed giving the reasons for the delay, it had been stated that even before the written statement could be filed, the defendants had been set exparte and the previous counsel, for personal reasons left the advocate office.
