1. ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.-The case has been called out. None is present for the petitioners. The learned counsel for the respondent is however, present. He states that the learned Advocate-on- Record and the learned counsel for the petitioners are aware of today's hearing. It is also apparent from their application for adjournment and hearing at Karachi, which was` rejected by H. C. J on 19- 11-1983 with the following order :- "As the availability of this particular Bench cannot be ensured at Karachi, it was, therefore, that this matter was ordered to be fixed here. Accordingly it will not be possible to adjourn the case which has already been listed for hearin4",.
2. Earlier too this petition was adjourned on four occasions on the request of the learned counsel for the petitioners. It is not a fit case for adjournment particularly when none has appeared today, till 10 a. m. It is accordingly dismissed for non-prosecution.
3. ' It is not necessary to pass any separate orders on the reference leeched in this Court. The questions raised therein have to be determined in accordance with the earlier final judgment of this Court.
4. Before parting with this order it needs to be noted that after about an hour of the announcement of the foregoing order another application for c adjournment was received by post. In view of what has been ordered above, thus belated application is of no avail to the applicant.
