Where is the matter of delay?
If a defendant do not appear on the day of hearing despite of notice then court orders either to proceed ex-parte against him or issues fresh notice.
If defendants put his appearance either on the next date of hearing or intermittently on any other day for the purpose of his presence, no fresh application is liable to be moved as advised by both experts.
