Respected Sir,
I am Prasanta Pal, a person who is financially struggling and unable to pay for a lawyer's fees. For this reason, I submitted a writ petition in person at the Circuit Bench of the Kolkata High Court regarding the enhancement of my monthly remuneration as per a Government order. During the hearing, the honorable court directed the respondent authority to file an affidavit within 8 weeks, and I was to submit a reply affidavit within 7 days thereafter. However, the respondent authority has not filed the affidavit as directed by the court, and 35 days have passed. In this situation,
A. What can I do? Should I bring this matter to the attention of the honorable judge or request that my case be listed for a hearing?
B. In my reply affidavit, can I include references to judgments from another high court and the Supreme Court as supporting evidence, or attach annexes of other government orders relevant to my case and in response to the opposing affidavit?
