SRI.LAL GEORGE FOR R1 TO 3 THIS REGULAR SECOND APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.Sasidharan Nambiar, J. --------------------------------------- R.S.A.No.1220 of 2010 --------------------------------------- JUDGMENT Another counsel sought adjournment for the counsel appearing for the appellant. Appeal was posted for admission earlier on 25.2.2011. On the request of the counsel, it was adjourned to 7.3.2011. On 7.3.2011, appellant did not turn up and still granting an opportunity, the case was posted to this day. When the case was called in the morning, there was no representation. When the case was taken up after lunch, counsel representing the counsel appearing for the appellant submitted that counsel has gone to Palakkad and sought an adjournment. It is not fair on the part of the counsel to seek adjournment when adjournment was granted earlier and on that adjourned day, he had not appeared and the case was posted to this day. Appeal is dismissed for default as the counsel, who represented the counsel appearing for the appellant, submitted that he is not prepared to argue the case. 11th March, 2011 (M.Sasidharan Nambiar, Judge) tkv
