I am fighting a eviction case on medical ground bonofide requirement. The respondent lawyers is trying to drag the case and just keeps asking for postponements. While filing counter he paid penality and took time. While evidence stage he just tried to pull the case . In next stage of cross also he is not attending and sending junior lawyer for date. The judge has ordered fine and had given time as last chance. Is this a common practice in courts? Does this has any influence on judge that the other party is just trying to drag on the case and paying fine?? Will it benefit me in anyway or i am just loosing on time? pls advise.
