Even though, the Judge consented to the plea of the state Attorney, he however refused to adjourn the case to next month as requested. The judge warned his court will not consent to any plea of adjournment from attorney general again. I will not grant plea for adjournment again on this case. The law allows for counsel’s to plea for adjournment at any time, but the same law disallows plea for adjournment to be rejected when the court realises is a strategy to delay the case,’’ the judge warned.
