As the case is of an emergency nature, the bar requested for it to be fixed for a hearing tomorrow (Wednesday).
Notably, the registrar’s office did not object to the application, and the SC formally received the plea from the bar.
This is the first petition under Article 184 sub-clause 3 of the Constitution filed this year which received no objection.
