Adv. Ambalapatta : No your honour, it hasn't come up yet. May we please have at least two more weeks time? Perhaps after Dusshera?
Justice Chandran : This has been posted so many times already? We can't keep adjourning. Also Dusherra is not a big thing here at least
Adv. Ambalappatta : This is the first time they can celebrate Dusherra after COVID and all... Date may be given on October 19
Justice Chandran : October 19 is a holiday for us and on 20th we have a matter with over 65 witnesses. We can post on October 22 nd. But NO MORE ADJOURNMENTS will be granted in this matter
Sr. Adv. Nair : We will only require about 30 mins to go through all these cases as far as the appellants are concerned
Justice Chandran : Provided all of you cooperate
Sr. Adv. Nair : Yes, we all are cooperating. Only one of us needs to argue.
Justice Chandran : You all take 5 mins each only
Sr. Adv Nair : I will not take any time if Sr. Adv Sreekumar covers all points. He covered other division bench matter also, he will lead
Sr Adv. Nair : Can it be made as a part heard matter?
