JUDGMENT :

In spite of our direction on the last date for the personal appearance of Dr. H.B. Singh today, he is not present. Mr. Bhattacharya, learned advocate representing him makes a prayer for adjournment after he placed before us for inclusion in the record a copy of a letter written by Dr. H.B. Singh to him indicating that Dr. H.B. Singh wants time for reflection after taking the opinion of the other Presiding Officers. We are not inclined to adjourn the case for that purpose. On further reflection Mr. Bhattacharya has made a prayer for a short adjournment on the ground that he will be advising Dr. H.B. Singh to file an affidavit giving an unconditional undertaking to appear in person in the Court in pursuance of a direction of this Court. He also states that he will advise Dr. H.B. Singh to make a separate application for condoning his absence and exempting his personal presence in the Court on a consideration of all the circumstances to be set out in the Petition.
