1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Writ Petition No.1786/2002 M/s. Hari Vishnu Packaging Ltd. Vs. Jagoji Bakaramji Bhatkulkar and 2others Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE, J. DATED : 15/09/2008. Mr. K.N. Shukul, Adv. holding for Mr. D.C. Chauhan, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks adjournment on the ground that talks of settlement are going on between the parties and, therefore, the matter be adjourned by one week. Mr. Naukarkar, learned counsel appearing for respondent no.1 states that he has instructions from his client that no compromise talks are in progress. On 2.9.2008, Mr. Chauhan after arguing the matter for some time sought time to take instructions from his client and in the interest of justice, I adjourned the matter to 15.9.2008 i. e. today, subject to payment of costs of Rs. 750/- (Rs. Seven hundred and fifty only) in favour of the High Court Legal Services, Sub Committee, Nagpur within a period of ten days. In view of the statement made by Mr. Naukarkar, learned counsel for respondent no.1, it appears that the statement made on behalf of the petitioner that the talks of settlement between the parties are going on is a statement 2 made only to get adjournment in the matter. Ordinarily in part-heard matter, there cannot be question of adjournment except for exceptional circumstances. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that he has been instructed only to seek an adjournment. Ordinarily I would have dismissed the matter but in the interest of justice, the petition is adjourned by one week, subject to the petitioner depositing costs of Rs. 5000/- (Rs. Five thousand only) in favour of the High Court Legal Services, Sub Committee, Nagpur on or before 20th September, 2008. In case, the costs are not deposited by 20th September, 2008, the petition shall stand dismissed for non-compliance of the order. S.O. 22nd September, 2008. JUDGE Ambulkar.
