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

Since almost Rs.20,000/- crores are involved in this case relating to construction workers and from the record it appears that about Rs.5,000/- crores (apart from Rs.20,000/- crores mentioned above) have been spent, we would request the assistance of a senior officer of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General to instruct some counsel to assist us in the matter.

List the matters on 23rd March, 2017 for final hearing.

The Registry is directed to return the affidavit(s) filed by any State/Union Territory after 10th February, 2017 and the same will not form the part of the record.

The Registry is also directed to send a copy of this order to the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General forthwith.
