(15/12/2025)
(Date of Hearing: 29/10/2025)

Coram: Shri. Ravindra Deshpande, Member-II, MahaRERA

Adv. Esha Jain for the Complainant
Adv. Sharmila a/w Adv. Abir Patel for the Respondent

1. The Complainant has filed the present application requesting not to be considered the sur-
rejoinder of the Respondent.

2. In short, the facts of the application are as follows:

3. It is contended in the application that as direction given by the Hon’ble Authority to the
Respondent as last chance to file its sur-rejoinder till 24/07/2025 and written arguments, if any;
however, on given date of hearing, dated 23/09/2025 on 12.30 pm, the Respondent filed its
Affidavit of sur-rejoinder on 12.25 pm. The Complainant further submits that when the matter
was called, the advocate of the Complainant strongly objected to the same and requested the
Hon’ble authority not to consider the said Affidavit of sur rejoinder and that they are ready for
final argument.

4. The Complainant prayed for the aforesaid clarification and explanation, the sur-rejoinder filed
by the Respondent on 23/09/2025 at 12.25 pm should not be taken on record and be rejected.

5. I have gone through the application. It is seen from perusal of the earlier Roznama dated
16/07/2025, that a direction was given to the Respondent to upload the sur-rejoinder till
24/07/2025, as a last chance and then, the matter was listed on 23/09/2025. It is seen that the
Respondent has uploaded the sur-rejoinder before the hearing on 23/09/2025. The Respondent
has uploaded the sur-rejoinder after the specific allotted time given to it. In my opinion, in the

interest of justice and to have a fair trial and in order to adjudicate disputes between the parties
on merits by giving proper opportunities to both the parties, in my considered view, the
application uploaded by the Respondent requesting to take on record a sur-rejoinder deserves
to be allowed. Hence, I pass the following order:
O R D E R

1. The application is partly allowed.

2. The sur-rejoinder be taken on record.
