This led to an uproar before the special bench. Senior advocate Shyam Divan said, &#8220;You cannot have a listed matter plucked off the board. This is an all-India court. People make travel arrangements and come here from all over the country. Why should a matter which is listed be removed during the course of the day? Once the cause list is mentioned and notified in the Supreme Court of India, no one can fiddle with it.&#8221; Senior advocate Guru Krishna Kumar echoed Divan&#8217;s grievance.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>However, it transpired that additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati had requested that the two petitions be clubbed and be placed for hearing before any one of the two benches on the ground that the new law was the defence of the Union govt in contempt and suggested that it would be better if the two cases were heard together.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>SC registry sources said following this, the CJI consulted the presiding judges &#8211; Justices Misra and Bhuyan &#8211; before constituting the special bench and placing both the matters before it.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>However, Justice Misra faulted the ASG for not informing the opposite side prior to making the request to the CJI, which led to such a situation. The CJI could not be contacted, as he is abroad.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The SC registry, from which an explanation was sought, filed a report on clubbing of the two cases. The bench of Justices Misra and Bhuyan said in its order, &#8220;The explanation tendered by the registry is accepted and taken on record. The same shall be kept in a sealed cover by the concerned section.&#8221; It posted both the contempt petition and the writ petition for hearing together on Oct 15.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/cases-clubbed-only-after-cji-spoke-to-presiding-judges\/articleshow\/134646588.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The contempt petition was initiated for the alleged violation of the SC&#8217;s May 23, 2025, judgement directing the gradual reduction and eventual phasing out of IPS officers&#8217; deputation to CAPFs and is pending before a bench headed by Justice Ujjal Bhuyan.
