                                           C.A.No.3472 of 2008

                                  (B.N. Agrawal and G.S. Singhvi JJ.)

                                                  09.05.2008

                                                   ORDER

1. Leave granted. Heard learned counsel for the appellant. The Trial Court refused to grant
time to the appellant to file written statement, which order has been confirmed by the High
Court in revision. Hence, this appeal by special leave. Nobody has appeared on behalf of the
respondents to contest the prayer made in the petition, in spite of service of notice. In our
view, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the Trial Court as well as the High Court
were not justified in refusing the prayer for filing written statement. Accordingly, the civil
appeal is allowed, impugned orders are set aside and the appellant is granted eight weeks'
time from today to file written statement before the Trial Court. No costs.
