"The law is trite that the Attorney General of a State is the alter ego of legal representation of the Government in every case the State has interest.
HELD:
"It is trite law that the complaint of breach of fair hearing can only be raised and avail a litigant when in fact the right had been denied.
HELD:

HELD:
"It occurs to me however that the law is not concerned as such with the deliberateness or otherwise of the conduct of litigants as it affects the right to fair hearing.
