The matter was adjourned to 27th April, 2011 so that the respondent could remain present. On 27th April, 2011, respondent appeared, his advocate was absent. Out of indulgence, time was given to the respondent to arrange for his advocate or appear in person and the petition was adjourned to 4th May, 2011. On 4th May, 2011 when the petition was taken up for final hearing, respondent was found to be absent though called out on two occasions. Thereafter, I have heard learned Counsel Mr. Salvi on behalf of the petitioner and the matter was adjourned to today to give last chance to the respondent to remain present. Today also the respondent has remained absent. I take it that the respondent is not interested in opposing this petition. It is in these circumstances, by this order the petition is being disposed of.
