Absence of hearing

You must have filed a writ petition i suppose. You need not have waited for 7 hearings and could have insisted the court to pass orders. Nothing is wrong even now but dont wait any further. Let your lawyer ask the court to pass orders on merits. From what you contend, i can understand that even counter is not filed by govt. side. It is not unusual for the govt. side to do this. Even in petty matters pending before the trial courts, they take their own time to appear and mostly they appear only to file set aside application after being set exparte. Judges who are very courageous and bold and dont fear the govt. alone will impose cost against them in allowing such applications and such judges are very low in number. 

They will not appear until at the least an exparte order is passed, as they will have to set it aside as it is against them. So insist your lawyer to pass atleast an exparte order if the judge is not inclined to pass orders on merits if not enforcing their appearance will be a herculean task. 

Wish you Good Luck

So far no one from Govt side appearing for the trial, our lawyer says there are not enough Judges and your case is not coming for the trial. How long we have to wait? Does the lawyer says true? Any one please clarify. TIA
