Adjournment slip has been circulated on behalf of the respondent No.1. However, the counsel for the petitioner has objected to the adjournment.

Learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.1, Life Insurance Corporation of India states that they require 10 days’ time to file a counter affidavit to comprehensively answer all the contentions raised. He has drawn our attention to the legal issue and the facts. We accept the prayer made by the counsel for the respondent No.1 and grant 10 days’ time to file counter affidavit. One of the reasons why we have accepted the said request is that in W.P.(C) No. 5903/2016, All India Retired Insurance Employees Federation Vs.

Learned counsel appearing for the Union of India submits that they do not have a copy of the writ petition. A copy of the same would be supplied to them during the course of the day.
