It was also stated that the connected petition is coming up on 20.01.2014 and the matter was adjourned to be listed along with the connected petition on 20.01.2014. On 20.01.2014, it was stated

that the investigation in the connected petition was still going on and thus the matter was adjourned to 22.07.2014. Thereafter the matter was adjourned on a couple of dates till 13.02.2015 when again none appeared for the petitioner and the matter was adjourned to 06.05.2015. On 06.05.2015, an adjournment was sought on behalf of the petitioner on the ground that the main counsel was not available and thus the matter was adjourned to 14.10.2015. On the next two dates of hearing i.e.14.10.2015 & 09.02.2016, again none appeared for the petitioner.
