Khushbu Verma

...Respondent

CORAM:

HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Mr. B. Diwakar, Advocate, for the petitioner.

RITU BAHRI, J. (Oral) The petitioner is in revision against the order, dated 25.7.2016, passed by learned District Judge-cum-Family Court, Faridabad, whereby his defence has been struck off and he is not allowed one opportunity to file written statement.

A bare perusal of the impugned order shows that on 5.11.2015, as per report received from the Mediation Centre, the mediation had failed and thereafter three effective opportunities for filing written statement, were afforded to the petitioner.

After hearing learned counsel and keeping in view just decision of the case, this Court feels that one more effective opportunity is required to be given tot he petitioner.

In view of above, impugned order dated 25.7.2016, is set aside and it is directed that subject to payment of Rs. 10,000/- as costs, one effective opportunity be afforded to the petitioner for filing the written statement.

The criminal revision stands disposed of.
