Despite having three authorized representatives, petitioner sought multiple pass-overs and refused to cross-examine witnesses when offered. The court found this conduct aimed at protracting proceedings to frustrate the opposing party. HC emphasized adjournments are judicial courtesy, not counsel's right, and judicial efficiency takes precedence over repeated delay tactics. The petition was dismissed with additional costs of Rs. 20,000 to be deposited with DHCLSC within one week. en-us Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Jun 2025 18:28:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460817 Delhi HC upheld Industrial Tribunal's decision to impose costs on petitioner management for seeking repeated adjournments in a 2009 industrial dispute.
