To conclude legal experts,
"STRIKE OFF DEFENCE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY AS A LAST RESORT, IF THE NON COMPLIANCE IS WILLFULL AND CONTUMACIOUS. COURT SHOULD CONSIDER ANY REPRESENTATION MADE BY DEFENDENT BEFORE PASSING ORDER"
This is the recommendation provided by Honble Supreme Court of India in the case of strike off defence for courts considering to apply this provision of law mechanistically.
