J Datta : we are simpliciter adjourning the matter, giving one observation as to why the relief cannot be granted at this stage ...we are not dismissing
Order: the counsel for the applicants in IA and Senior Counsel for ECI...the arguments on the IA were heard, prima facie we are not inclined to grant any relief at this stage in view of the similarity on the prayers A in application and prayer in B, granting the interim relief would mount to final relief ..we list these applications after the vacation before the appropriate bench

Singhvi: (3)SC doesn't apply the rules of interim v. final so strictly in WP...it has travelled since 2019, we are now on the cusp of the end of 2024 elections, if such issue are not decided ....
J Datta: tomorrow is the 6th phase, 5 phases are over....this particular compliance would require manpower , we have to be very conscious of the ground reality, we feel this could be heard after the vacations

J Datta: 'and for all future elections' (in the prayer) those are the most important words .....the SC is yet to decide on 32 WP, and grant you reliefs, the matter is pending, you what this now as interim relief
Dave : PIL have separate laws, civil procedure wouldn't apply
J Datta: how many PILs we see - public interest, paise interest litigations etc....but what we are telling you is , you may not have approached at the appropriate stage with a proper prayer
