A Bench comprising CJI U.U. Lalit, Justice Ajay Rastogi, and Justice Ravindra Bhat, while hearing a plea by the Enforcement Directorate, seeking to transfer case to CBI, was of the opinion that the submissions of the parties will not be over in one session. Therefore, directed Registry to list the matter before the appropriate court on November 14.
Also, directed the documents that were submitted in sealed cover, to be resealed and kept intact till further orders of the Court.
However, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, Senior Advocates Kapil Sibal and Mukul Rohatgi suggested October 31, as the date, but the Court raised concerns and thereby refused, as the composition of the Bench wouldn't be possible.
Although the Bench after a small discussion decided to sit till 4:45 to hear the parties, but Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal raised a request saying that he should be granted more time by the Court to be heard.
Earlier, on Tuesday, the Bench comprising CJI U.U. Lalit, Justice Ajay Rastogi, and Justice Ravindra Bhat, while hearing a plea by the Enforcement Directorate, where transfer of investigation to CBI was sought for, had directed to hear the matter further, on Thursday.
