The Madras High Court has once again adjourned the case related to CoPP for January 18 for further hearing. The case, which came up for hearing on January 8, has been dragging on in the Madras High Court for a final decision for the last about three months.

This is the sixth time the High Court is postponing the case to a further date. Government pleader G Sankaran, who is appearing in the court for the case on behalf for the state government, told Pharmabiz that the court had adjourned the case for the counsel's convenience. The petitioner, the drug control officers association of Tamil Nadu, has asked some more time for engaging some senior advocates to argue the case, said the government pleader.
