On the facts, notice served on Friday afternoon left no effective opportunity to appear before the ex parte interim order was made, so the respondent's non-appearance was held to be for sufficient cause. The ex parte interim order was recalled, leaving the parties free to seek fresh interim relief before the regular Bench in accordance with law. en-us Fri, 27 Jul 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:24:26 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=46746 Rule 26's 48 hours' prior notice was interpreted with Rule 28 to require 48 working hours, because the object of the provision is to give the respondent a real chance to seek instructions and contest ad interim relief; weekends and office holidays are not meaningful time for that purpose.
