Need to serve a fresh hearing date where the date originally fixed for adjudication or when that schedule was aborted by unforeseen circumstances.

by caneadmin

Where the Court failed to sit on a date originally fixed for adjudication or when that schedule was aborted by unforeseen circumstances, fresh hearing notices must be ordered and served on the parties to intimate them of the new date in order to uphold the principle of fair hearing. In doing so, the Court would have exercised the requisite caution and satisfied itself that indeed, the Defendants had due notice. This seems a desirable price to pay in the quest to attain maximum justice.[1]
