JUSTICE AJAY DIGPAUL JUDGMENT (ORAL) % 12.02.2025 C. HARI SHANKAR, J. 1. The impugned order reads thus: “M.A. No. 125/2025 The present M.A. has been filed seeking preponement of date of hearing. Issue notice to the respondents. List on 12.02.2025.” 2. 12 February 2025 is incidentally today. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that this is a legal aid matter. Essentially, in that view of the matter, we are frankly unhappy that such a petition has Signature Not Verified Digitally Signed By:AJIT WP(C) 1726/2025 Page 1 of 2 KUMAR Signing Date:13.02.2025 20:24:40 been filed. It is the responsibility of the counsel who appear in legal aid matters to advise their clients appropriately. Had this petition not been a legal aid petition, it would have invited exemplary costs. 3. It is obvious that such a petition is a complete abuse of the process of the Court. 4. The petition is accordingly dismissed. C. HARI SHANKAR, J. AJAY DIGPAUL, J.
