UMAR ATA BANDIAL, CJ.- There is a request 
for adjournment by the learned counsel for the petitioner 
who is not feeling well. The matter was twice adjourned on 
his request on 13.10.2021 and on 12.11.2021. There is no 
medical certificate available on record to indicate his 
present illness.  
2. 
 
The learned AOR submits that the application for 
adjournment was filed directly by the learned counsel. 
Consequently, he has no instructions in the matter and is not 
prepared with arguments in the case. In the circumstances, 
we are not inclined to adjourn this matter as it has not

progressed for three successive dates of hearing on account 
of the unavailability of the learned counsel for the 
petitioner. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed for non-

In order that the matter comes to the attention 
of the learned Members of the Bar this order shall be
