Written statement - vakalat filing - civil suit

hello,

i am on the plaint side vs 3 defendants in a civil partition suit case in a district court in pune. one  of the defendant file a vakalath but No written statement filed for 6months. we just had a hearing last week and the defendant seem to have changed his advocae and filed a new vakalat withh the details known to me so far and it is still at written statement phase now.

Does that mean, the defendant can use this as a reason to get additional time for writtne statement here. i see some malafide intention here with changing the advocate at this time. please share your views

The law prescribed a limitation for filing Written Statement which is 90 days and in exceptional circumstances court can extend the time but if limitation has already expired court then defendant has to file necessary application for condonation of delay.
