Mr. Shreekant Neelappa Terdal, AOR Mr. Kunal Mimani, AOR Mr. Subhang Tandon, Adv. UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Despite service of notice, no one has entered appearance on behalf of three States i.e. State of Telangana, State of Punjab and State of Jammu & Kashmir. Neither responses nor counter affidavits have been filed by them. They have not even filed their responses whereas rest others States have already filed their responses. The matter is being delayed due to non-filing of responses of these three States.

We direct the Chief Secretaries of the concerned States to remain present on the next date, in case no response is filed by the said States. In case the response is filed and States are duly represented, the presence of the Chief Secretaries would not be necessary.

List the petition again on 4th March, 2025.
