2021 (1) TMI 804 - SUPREME COURTCondonation of delay in filing statements - Booked flats not delivered in time - Section 38(2)(a) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 - HELD THAT:- In the present matter, it is an admitted fact that the period of limitation of 30 days to file the written statement had expired on 12.08.2020 and the extended period of 15 days expired on 27.08.2020. This period expired when the order dated 23.03.2020 passed by this Court in SMW(C) No.3 of 2020 was continuing - the limitation for filing the written statement in the present proceedings before the National Commission would be deemed to have been extended as it is clear from the order dated 23.03.2020 that the extended period of limitation was applicable to all petitions/ applications/suits/appeals and all other proceedings. As such, the delay of four days in filing the written statements in the pending proceedings before the National Commission deserves to be allowed, and is accordingly allowed. It is directed that the written statement filed by the appellant shall be taken on record and the matter shall thereafter be proceeded with expeditiously and in accordance with law - appeal allowed.
