Justice Rajiv Narain Raina while adjourning the hearing noted in the order, “Counsel assuming that (the) mood of the Court is bad this morning, dismissing first four urgent cases one after the other with orders dictated in Court, prays that time may be granted to him to argue the case on some other day”.

“I grant permission for an adjournment but not without saying that those cases were not worth admission,” said the judge.
