ADJOURNMENT OF SLPS AT WHOSE BEHEST ?

Mr KML Asthana had sent a letter on 30 th January 2020 seeking adjournment due to ill health and the letter was received in the S.C. Registry on 4/2/2020.The LIC counsel took the plea that the request for adjournment was not circulated to them and hence service was not complete.It was a technical ground taken by LIC Counsel for adjournment.

There is no point on fixing blame on anybody.This is in the nature of the legal system in our country.

But one thing we can be happy about is that main arguments on SLPs will be taken up on 19 th February.
