For Applicant(s) Advocate : Shri Vinay Kumar For Respondent(s) Advocate : Shri Abhay prakash for R-3 & 4 Order of The Tribunal Learned counsel for both sides are present. MA No. 549/2026 has been filed by the counsel for Opposite Party with a prayer to recall the order 17.08.2026 by which it was directed to proceed ex-parte hearing against the Opposite Party No. 3 and 4 in the absence of written statement. Counsel for the applicant has received a copy of written statement but has not opposed. We have heard the counsel for Opposite Party and perused the MA. The reasons for not filing written statement in given time, have been explained in para 3 and 4 of MA. In view of the above, since the grounds mentioned in MA are sufficient to recall the order dated 17.08.2026 with regard to proceeding ex-parte against the Opposite Party, MA No. 549/2026 is allowed and the order dated 17.08.2026 is hereby recalled. The opportunity to file WS is granted since counsel for Opposite Party has submitted that he has already filed the written statement on 18.09.2026. It is seen that written statement is kept in File 'C' hence Registry is directed to place the written statement on record. Counsel for applicant has submitted that he may be given two weeks time to peruse the WS and to file rejoinder, if needed. Prayer is acceded to. Let the rejoinder be filed in two weeks positively. It is made clear that the rejoinder, if needed, shall be confined up to the extent of only new facts mentioned in the written statement, or any such facts which require specific denial.
