The order produced by the learned Government Pleader was shown to Shri Panduranga Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner who made a request for adjournment for one week so as to enable him to seek instructions. The request of Shri Panduranga Rao is accepted and the case is adjourned to 04.07.2007.” Today, no one has appeared for the petitioner.
