I don’t know what is the legal question involved here. It is a question of common sense that your advocate could have easily replied if you had asked him. If the respondents are trying to delay the hearing, it is the duty of your advocate to oppose the same, if you have some urgency. So, instruct your advocate to oppose the effort of the respondents to delay the matter, and request the court to hear the matter urgently if you have some urgency. Adjourning the matter to come up in due course (when the reply of the respondents is yet to be filed) implies that the matter may be listed when the reply is filed. Your advocate can mention the case before the court for early hearing, if there is an urgency.
