O R D E R
We have been hearing this matter since
yesterday i.e., 26th
October, 2021.
When the Bench assembled after lunch break,
Mr. Kapil Sibal, learned senior counsel appearing
for the petitioners, informed us that he is likely
to take some more time and will not be able to
conclude his arguments even by tomorrow.
He submits that as there will be Diwali
break during the next week, it would be appropriate
that hearing of this matter be continued after the
Diwali vacation.
In the meantime, he intends to file four
more volumes as convenience compilation along with
propositions. He has also informed us that no
further documents will be filed thereafter.
As a result, we defer the hearing of this
matter till 10th
November, 2021, as jointly
requested.
Registry is directed to accept the
additional paper-books to be filed in the form of
convenience volumes.
It will also be open to the petitioners to
file the same through e-filing, provided advance
copy is made available to the counsel appearing for

3. 3
the opposite parties.
