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

Some of the respondents-States have already filed their counter affidavits while some others remain to do so. Those who have not yet filed their counter affidavits may do the same within six weeks.

Learned counsel for Union of India submits that he will take instructions whether a uniform law to cover the subject can be recommended by the UOI as the subject in question falls within the concurrent list. We also request Mr. Mukul Rohatgi, Ld. Attorney General for India to assist us in the matter keeping in view the fact that the issue raised concerns Advocates' clerks who are a part of serving the legal system in the country.

Post after the needful is done.
