In Brief
Ram Siromani Tripathi and others appealed against a State of U.P. order. During hearing, counsel sought adjournment claiming absence due to being out of station. The Supreme Court rejected the adjournment request as unjustified and dismissed the appeals for non-prosecution, finding that counsel was unprepared to argue the case. The Court ruled that merely being out of station does not constitute valid grounds for adjournment and declined to entertain any future restoration applications.
