Analysis and Conclusion
Overall, the legal framework underscores the mandatory nature of deadlines for submitting written statements. While courts may sometimes allow extensions for genuine reasons such as health or counsel-related issues, these are exceptions rather than the rule. Failure to comply generally results in adverse orders, including dismissal or denial of further opportunity to submit the statement. The emphasis remains on strict adherence to prescribed timelines to ensure procedural discipline in legal proceedings.
