It seemed that the afternoon session would peter out with no ‘newsy’ cases, but an urgent mentioning at 3.45 pm changed all that.
The mentioning was made by Senior Advocate Dushyant Dave in the case relating to Bengaluru Idhag Maidan.
This mentioning happened after a division bench referred the case to a 3-judge bench without passing any interim order.
Dave, who was appearing on behalf of the petitioners, then rushed to the CJI who promptly constituted a bench and also listed the matter for hearing at 4.30 pm.
This was a welcome change since many a time such cases used to be rendered infructuous due to delayed listing.
The hearing before that bench went up till 6.20 pm before the Court granted relief to the petitioners.
