As per news report of The Indian Express, Chief Justice of India N V Ramana told senior advocate Sanjay Hegde, who sought urgent listing, “Others also mentioned. Let us see. We will list after vacation”. The top court will be closed for Holi for three days starting Thursday and will reopen on March 21. Hegde asked if the court would consider listing it on March 21, saying exams will begin and the affected students have to sit for them. But CJI Ramana said, “Mr Hegde, give us time. We will see. We will post the matter”.
