                                     ORAL ORDER

1. When the petition is called out and taken up  for hearing, learned advocate for the petitioner  is   not   present.   Learned   advocate   for   the  respondent is present.   Any request for passover  or adjournment is also not made.

2. This   petition   was   listed   for   hearing   on  23.2.2016. On the said date also, the petitioner  did not care to attend the hearing.   Therefore,  the   petition   was   dismissed   on   ground   of   non­ Page 1 of 3 HC-NIC Page 1 of 3 Created On Wed Mar 16 00:50:34 IST 2016 C/SCA/10760/2013 ORDER prosecution.   Subsequently,   the   petitioner   moved  an   application,   i.e.   Misc.   Civil   Application  No.776   of 2016.  Considering  the  request  made  in  the application, the request was granted and the  petition came to be restored. 

3. Thereafter, the petition is again listed for  hearing today.  As mentioned hereinabove, learned  advocate for the petitioner is not present.  The  Court   heard   the   submissions   by   learned   advocate  for the respondent for about 20 minutes. However,  learned   advocate   for   the   petitioner   did   not  appear. 

4. At this stage, colleague of learned advocate  for the petitioner appeared and made request for  adjourning the hearing.  

5. The   Court   declined   to   grant   adjournment   in  view   of   the   fact   that   the   petition   is   rotating  for admission in the Cause List since 2013 and it  is already adjourned 49 times. 

6. In   that   view   of   the   matter,   the   Court  Page 2 of 3 HC-NIC Page 2 of 3 Created On Wed Mar 16 00:50:34 IST 2016 C/SCA/10760/2013 ORDER declined to adjourn the hearing.   At that stage  the learned advocate for the petitioner requested  for passover.  

7. Having regard to the fact that this Court is  assigned   final   hearing   of   old   petitions   and  considering the fact that once the final hearing  of a petition would commence, then it would not  be   possible   to   take   up   second   call   of   the  petitions   listed   on   Admission   Board   and   a  passover   would   ultimately   result   into   another  (i.e.   50th)   adjournment.   Therefore,   the   Court  rejected the request for passover as well.

8. Even   thereafter   the   Court   heard   learned  advocate for the respondent for about 5 minutes,  however, the learned advocate for the petitioner  did   not   appear.     In   these   circumstances,   the  petition is dismissed for non­prosecution.
