Request for adjournment made on ground that counsel is at Tirupati Balaji - applicant not serious in pursing matter, hence application rejected

A miscellaneous application was filed by the applicant for restoration of their early hearing application.

Incidentally, the said early hearing application was dismissed by the Bench on 10/09/2013 for non-prosecution as none represented the applicant despite notice.

The Bench observed -

"3. When the case was called for hearing today, a request for adjournment of the restoration of early hearing application has been made on the ground that the counsel for the applicant-respondent is at Tirupati Balaji. It appears that the applicant-respondent is not serious in pursuing the matter. Accordingly, we reject the miscellaneous application for restoration of the early hearing application.”

Perhaps, it is applications like these that eat up the valuable time of the Bench.
