1. Is it true that family courts function during 11:30am-2:30pm and 3:00pm-5:00pm (Total 5 hours)??
On Y'day during hearing of my case:
My hearing scheduled could not happen since my suit was listed 18th on the board.
First three cases on the board took time upto 02:00pm almost (due to lengthy final argument on assets of a wife, also witnesses probably etc)
Next seven cases took time upto 4:30pm
Finally my case was not heard and adj was given last week on Nov.
Opposite party's lawyer asked for adj at 2:00pm and left the scene never to return.
2. Could I have asked for immediate near date in this week only? Am/was I allowed to ask it?
3. Does that clerk decide on next dates? or the judge takes decision?
4. How many cases are taken for hearing on an average in a day?
Please help me understand it.
