The Court : The time to file affidavit-in-opposition expired on 8th
December, 2025. The defendants till now have not filed their affidavit-in-
opposition. No extension was even sought for by the defendants prior to this
date as on two occasions, last of which was on 4th February, 2026 when the
defendants remained unrepresented. The suit is as per the statements
contained in the plaint one for recovery of money lent and advanced. The
delay on the part of the defendants in filing the opposition amounts to delay
in putting-forth their stand.
In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, following the principles laid
down in Rahul S. Shah Vs. Jinendra Kumar Gandhi reported in (2021) 6
SCC 418 the defendants are directed in their affidavit-in-opposition to
provide particulars of their assets and properties. The time to file affidavit-
in-opposition is peremptorily extended till 10th March, 2026. Reply thereto,
if any, be filed by 30th March, 2026. Let this matter appear in the monthly
list of April, 2026.
It is made clear that in the event the defendants do not file their
affidavit-in-opposition within the extended period of time, the matter will be
heard without such affidavit and consequences will follow.
