Decision In this case, the petitioner was represented by Advocate Jamil Ahmed Virk, who failed to appear in court despite multiple calls. The counsel had left a note stating he was busy before another Division Bench. The respondent's counsel asserted that the petitioner's advocate was deliberately avoiding appearance due to interim orders favoring the petitioner. Upon reviewing previous diaries, it was evident that adjournments were previously granted at the request of the petitioner's counsel. Consequently, the High Court decided to recall the interim orders and dismissed the petition, emphasizing the importance of representation in judicial proceedings and the implications of avoiding court appearances.
