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

We have heard learned counsel for the parties with regard to the management of the case.

It appears that the matter is not likely to finish even within 15 working days. Learned counsel for the petitioners says that they will themselves take about seven working days and from the side of the respondents, it appears that they will also take about seven days, if not more. There are a large number of interveners also who may take a couple of days in all.

Under these circumstances, the matter will not finish early and, therefore, it is not advisable to take it up during the vacation period.

The Registry will place the file before Hon'ble the Chief Justice of India for further directions.
