In Brief
This is a procedural order in a Special Leave Petition. The petitioner's original senior counsel was unavailable due to prior engagement with the International Court of Justice. The Court permitted an alternate senior counsel to argue the matter. The respondent's counsel raised a preliminary issue on maintainability of the underlying writ petition. The Court, having heard initial arguments on this maintainability issue, adjourned the matter for further hearing the following day to permit the respondent's counsel to complete arguments on the preliminary objection."
