Our cases were called today a little before lunch time after disposing of 4 Miscellaneous matters.
An Advocate of LIC stood up and renewed his request for adjournment on the ground of some one being critically ill resulting in the inability of the Advocate on record (Mr Ashok Panigrahi) to appear.
The adjournment request was vehemently opposed by M/s Renuka Sahu & Mr R K Singh the Pensioners' counsel. Judge was considering posting the matter to next week.
At that point Mr Abhishek Manoo Singhvi, Sr Advocate informed the Bench that he is appearing for LIC and that he is not free till 20th February.
Thereupon, the Bench posted the cases to 26th February and ordered the matters as 'PART HEARD'. This part of the direction is a boon for us because it will be listed above Sl No 101 and will have to be definitely taken up on that day.
It is learnt that the Court was to give 25th Feb as the date but Mr R K Singh, (AoR for Jaipur) mentioned he will not be able to appear on that day. Hence the Court fixed the next day viz 26th.
