Legal Challenge Dismissed as Counsel Fails to Prosecute Case, Repeated Adjournment Requests Rejected Under Strict Procedural Guidelines
SC dismissed the appeal for "want of prosecution" after repeated adjournment requests by appellant's counsel. Despite pandemic-related video conference proceedings, the tribunal emphasized strict hearing schedules and rejected further delay, effectively terminating the legal challenge due to procedural non-compliance by the appellant.

Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the order was issued via video conference and digitally signed by the Private Secretary on behalf of the bench, with parties directed to act on the digitally signed copy transmitted electronically.
