Unnecessary adjournments creating hurdles in judicial system may shake confidence of concerned witnesses, which should be avoided at all costs

Unnecessary adjournments creating hurdles in judicial system may shake confidence of concerned witnesses, which should be avoided at all costs.(Mujjan Ali Panhwar)

---S. 344---Frequent adjournment---Effect---Frequent adjournments mostly sought on flimsy grounds contribute to hardship, inconvenience and expenses to parties and witnesses---Witnesses come to assist Court to dispense justice, who sacrifice their time feel inconvenience rather frustration and unhappiness if their cases adjourn, as they are required to come to Courts repeatedly, which amount to provide opportunities to opposite parties to threaten them not to depose truth---Unnecessary adjournments creating hurdles in judicial system may shake confidence of concerned witnesses, which should be avoided at all costs.
