How to Prevent Frequent Passovers Taken by the Opposite Party in Court?


25-Jul-2024 (In Civil Law)
The petitioner and respondent were present in the first calling, and the case stands passed over for petitioner argument. The petitioner went to the restroom and returned within 30 minutes. In the meantime, the respondent sought the next date of hearing after two months in the presence of the petitioner. Kindly tell whether it is permissible, and if not, what action can be taken by the petitioner in this instance. What is passover in court? Thank you.

See, if a Passover in court was sought and the matter was put up for argument after some time, then it was the duty of the petitioner to object if the respondent started seeking a date after returning from Passover. Now, if an adjournment was sought and the court granted it in the presence of both parties, then neither the court nor the other party is at fault.

Requesting time is permissible, but granting two months is not common. At most, the court may allow 15 days unless the Respondent needs to submit specific documents and has applied for a copy application in the concerned department. If the court accepts their version, they may grant two months.
