Babusing Rathod ================================== CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR & S.R. DONGAONKAR, JJ. DATE: 9.6.2008 P.C. Heard Mr. Kothari, A.G.P. for applicant and Mr. Agrawal, Advocate for respondent. Counsel for the respondent seeks time to file reply. We see no propriety in acceding to that request. This is so because the application pertains to year 2007. Formal court notice was issued on 7.1.2008 which was duly served on the respondent as back as in February 2008. Respondent has not chosen to file reply so far. In the circumstances request for adjournment is rejected. Having regard to the assertions made in the application in our opinion sufficient cause has been made out. In these circumstances and in the interest of justice application is made absolute in terms of prayer clause. JUDGE JUDGE smp.
