Defendants sought injunction restraint regarding proprietary information and trade secrets. The 120-day limitation period for filing written statement under Order 8 Rule 1 CPC expired on 09/05/2020 during lockdown. HC held that since limitation period had already expired before lockdown commenced, defendants could not claim benefit of SC's lockdown extension orders. Citing precedent, court ruled defendants forfeited their right to file written statement after statutory period lapsed, upholding trial court's decision. en-us Mon, 13 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 30 Dec 2023 19:46:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311535 Bombay HC dismissed a petition challenging refusal to accept written statement filed beyond statutory limitation period.
