UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R
1. Heard Mr. Kapil Sibal along with Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, Mr. Harish Salve, learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents and Mr. Arvind Datar, learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of the Election Commission of India.
2. Learned Senior counsel have submitted their respective notes highlighting the issues which, as per them, arise for consideration in this batch of petitions. This Court will decide as to whether the issues raised in the instant petitions require to be referred to a 5-Judges Bench or not, after considering the submissions advanced by the learned Senior counsel for the parties
and examining the issues submitted by them.
2. Meanwhile, we are informed by Mr. Arvind Datar, learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of the Election Commission that it has fixed 8th August, 2022 as the date for the petitioner to file an affidavit in the matter pending before it. According to the learned Senior counsel, the proceedings may take some time as voluminous evidence is usually submitted by the parties which must be considered by the Election Commission. The learned Senior counsel, therefore, states that no orders may need to be passed by this Court interdicting proceedings before the Election Commission. In these circumstances, we grant liberty to the petitioner to file an application before the Election Commission for seeking time. 3. List next week.
