JUSTICE BISWANATH RATH

ORDER

08.04.2022 Order No.

01.

1.

On the own submission of learned counsel for Petitioner, there is no filing of the written statement even in a suit of the year 2018. For the amended provision in the Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C), the written statement is required to be filed within ninety days. Four years have already passed, thus there should not be so much delay in getting the written statement on record. This Court finds surprise in the attitude of the trial court in becoming so much liberal in completing the pleadings involving a suit of the year 2018 even. Be that as it may, this Court directs, in the event no written statement is filed as yet and there is no genuine ground for such delay, the trial court may take steps for expediting the trial in the suit vide C.S. No.506 of 2018 as expeditiously as possible. 2.

The C.M.P. stands disposed of.

(Biswanath Rath) Judge Ayaskanta Jena
