over to court. Learned counsel for the applicant filed further papers in reply and both counsel made further oral submissions thereafter. [3] Learned counsel for the respondent initially objected on the grounds that the application was not in conformity with section 30 B (8) of the CPC. This court made order that the applicant bring his application into conformity with section 30 B (8) of the Code. Learned counsel for the applicant did so and filed an application thereafter with affidavits as required by the said section. It appears learned counsel for the respondent objects to the fact that the same case number was given to this application but this objection has no bearing on the application as this is an administrative function of court and has nothing to do with the application per se.
