The tribunal imposed costs of fifty thousand rupees (presumably) for the delay in filing the statement of defence and ordered that the statement of defence shall not be received until the payment was made. This was challenged in an appeal under Section 37 ACA, dismissing which the court ruled that the remedy was to approach the tribunal under Section 17 (1) (e) ACA and seek a waiver of the payment.
