M/S. LOH VANIZYA UDYOG PVT. LTD. vs RICKIE KHOSLA

The Supreme Court held that an application under Order 33 Rule 1 CPC for permission to sue as an indigent person, pending for over 10 years, warrants reconsideration of ex-parte orders. The Court set aside the order dated 21.9.2000 that closed the appellant's rights to file a written statement, allowing the appeal on the condition that the appellant deposits Rs.10,000 as costs within one month. The Court emphasized the importance of ensuring fair trial rights, allowing six weeks for the written statement to be filed thereafter.
