Hegde: May I join in that. I would like to use lordhsips good office to all people watching outside, we men and women of law should find an answer and maintain peace. My college, MGM college - there should be nothing. Even my parents went to the same college.

Kamat: We have to thank your lordships for a patient hearing.

Justice Dixit: It is open for the petitioners to seek interim relief after a decision is taken by CJ regarding the constitution of the larger bench.

"In the above circumstances, registry is directed to place the papers before Chief Justice for consideration immediately, considering the urgency pleaded in the petitions" - Justice Dixit notes in the order.

"Even interim prayers merit consideration at the hands of larger bench that may be constituted by CJ in his discretion and therefore the arguments advanced on interim prayers are reproduced here" - Justice Dixit notes in the order.

"Having regard to the enormity of questions of importance which are debated, the court is of the considered opinion that the papers be put at the hand of CJ to decide if a larger bench can be constituted in the subject matter"- Justice Dixit notes in the order.

Justice Dixit observes in the order that the question of interim relief will also be considered by the larger bench.
