In my considered view, repeated adjournments cannot be claimed as a matter of right, particularly when the main C.C. case is pending since 2021 and the Crl.M.P. under Section 319 Cr.P.C. has been pending since May 2026. The petitioner may seek expeditious disposal under Section 309 Cr.P.C. by bringing the repeated adjournments to the Court’s notice. The Court may refuse unnecessary adjournments, impose appropriate costs and fix a short date for hearing. However, reasonable opportunity of hearing must be preserved. If repeated adjournments continue despite sufficient opportunity, the Court can proceed in accordance with law and endeavour to dispose of the application expeditiously. A prayer for time-bound hearing would therefore be appropriate.
