1. When the matter was called, none appeared on behalf of the respondents. However, there was a request from them for an adjournment.On going through the issue involved in this case, we find that the matter itself can be disposed of in their absence. Accordingly, we proceed to pass this order after hearing Shri S. Kannan, learned JDR.2. The issue pertains to selling of loose tea by the respondents to the retailers by packing in a paper on which word "Mumtaj" is printed with a picture of a lady sipping a cup of tea.
