NEW DELHI, JULY 17:
The Delhi High Court on Thursday declined to entertain former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s plea seeking early hearing of his appeal against a 2016 trial court order, which dismissed his divorce petition, saying his estranged wife’s consent was also required for advancing the date.
A bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Subramonium Prasad said the High Court’s Registrar General has already issued a circular stating that during the restricted functioning of courts due to COVID-19, a request for final hearing of pending matters will be entertained only if both the parties agree.
“In view of the fact that this application is not accompanied by any consent from the other side (Payal Abdullah) and nor is the counsel for the respondent present in the hearing, though we are informed that an advance copy of the application was served on him, we are not in a position to accede to the prayer made in the application,” the bench said.
“The application is dismissed,” it added.
