I.A.No. 8 Mr. Trideep Pais,Adv. (For Impleadment) Mr. Nikhil Nayyar,Adv.

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Application for impleadment in W.P.(C)No. 109 of 2008 is dismissed.

List the matters on 6th September, 2016.

In the meantime, Respondent No. 8 in T.C.(C)No.59 of 2015 is permitted to file counter affidavit.

From the Office Report, it appears that 11 States have not filed affidavit in terms of the Court's order dated 29.01.2016. Insofar as State of Tamil Nadu is concerned, it is already recorded in the order dated 29.01.2016 that it has the justification for not filing the affidavit. Insofar as other States are concerned, we deem it appropriate to give two more weeks time to file necessary affidavit.
