Dear Learned Lawyers,
In a crimnal case the accused filed 5 different petitions, U/s 91, 311, 243(2) of CrPC, and court gave time for the prosecution to file counters in all 5 petitions.... prosecution took 3 hearings and not filed counter.....
Then court gave last chance and during that last chance of hearing also prosecution not filed counter....then court written on docket that Counter NILL. Then court gave adjournment, although accused asked to pass orders considering that Counter not filed ....
Questions:
- Does the adjournment is required?
- Why court nto proceeded for orders stage.
- Is there any requirement to give adjournment even after finding that Counter is NILL.
