2. During course of the arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner informs that the next date before the learned Trial Court is 08.08.2024. It is also apprised that respondent is not rendering due assistance and co-operation as she has not even filed affidavit in support of her evidence. It is also apprised that no list of have witnesses has either been submitted and, therefore, there is no progress in the matter despite the fact that petitioner was able to conclude his evidence on 18.12.2023.
