UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

 

We have perused the progress report dated 31.05.2014, which is taken on record. The Registry is directed to keep the aforesaid report in sealed cover and in the custody of the Secretary General of this Court forthwith.

 

Insofar as Case No. C.R. 26 of 2002 is concerned, we are informed by Shri Harish N. Salve, learned Amicus Curiae that the matter was argued and reserved for judgment by the learned District and Sessions Judge but thereafter the learned Judge is transferred and new learned Judge has taken over. Therefore, the learned Amicus Curiae submits that the matter requires to be re-heard by the new learned

Judge.

 

In view of the above, we now direct the learned District and Sessions Judge to re-hear the arguments of all the learned counsels in Case No. C.R. 26 of 2002 as expeditiously as possible and pronounce the judgment within an outer limit of three months’ time from today.

 

We permit Shri Salve to file an appropriate application before this Court after serving the same on Ms. Aparna Bhat and learned counsel for the State of Gujarat.

List the matter on 16.09.2014 at 3: 30 p.m.
