The learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the learned Court below has been granting unnecessary adjournments and due to which, there is a delay in disposal of the case and such delay is causing hardship to the petitioner.

Therefore, service of notice upon the opposite party is dispensed with.

possible and in any event, within a period of one year from the date of communication of this order and without granting unnecessary adjournments without reasonable reasons.
