The result of DHCBA’s call was visible today, as most of the courtrooms, which are otherwise packed on a Monday, were nearly empty.
Proxy counsel appeared before the benches and sought adjournments in most cases.
The repeated requests for adjournment without any reason prompted the Division Bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula to question the proxy counsel on why adjournments were being sought.
“We can’t adjourn cases like this…You can’t appear in every case like this. If someone is not well, fine we will adjourn it. But none of you are giving a ground for adjournment,” the Bench remarked.
The Bench, however, did hear certain cases in which lawyers appeared and passed orders in those matters.
