Be that as it may the last opportunity was already
granted to defendant to lead DE. This court is under no doubt that
the defendant is trying to drag the proceedings by resorting to
dilatory tactics. Even if the witness was unavailable today the
application could have been moved to summon other witness but
the defendant chose to seek adjournment. In view of the conduct
of defendant the DE stands closed.
List the matter for final arguments on 03.07.2026.
