Udupi, July 12, 2013 : The AC Court proceedings in the Udupi taluk office had to be adjourned half way through on July 11, Thursday. The reason-the entire court premises was stinking, possibly because some rat might have died in some corner of the hall. In fact the court functions from here only once a week.
As usual, the AC, advocates and clients had gathered and the court was to hear 101 cases. But as foul smell was unbearable particularly at the podium were the AC was seated, the officer sat quiet for some time as some others held their nose tight with their hands.
And finally when none could tolerate the foul smell,the AC adjourned the meeting within five minutes.
An advocate was heard saying that the court premises need to have been thoroughly cleaned up before the proceedings commenced.
