IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5862 of 2007 SANJEEV KUMAR & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5 09.09.2008 The learned counsel for the petitioner is seeking adjournment on three grounds, firstly, that he is unwell, secondly, similar matter is pending before a Division Bench presided by Hon’ble the Chief Justice and, accordingly this matter be heard after disposal of the case pending before the said Division Bench and, lastly, that a copy of the counter affidavit has been furnished to him only yesterday and, therefore, he seeks time to file a rejoinder. Having considered the sickness of the counsel for the petitioner, we offered the learned counsel to make the application “Not Today and tomorrow”, but he sought adjournment for three weeks. In so far as the counter affidavit is concerned, we made it explicit that in the event it is found by the Court that rejoinder to the counter affidavit is necessary then the Court will give adjournment for that, but the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he will not be in a position to 2 assist the Court unless three weeks time is given. The counsel, therefore, thought that he can control the affairs of this Court which this Court does not approve. Learned counsel did not argue this application, accordingly, it is dismissed for default. Mkr. (Barin Ghosh, J.) (C.M. Prasad, J.)
