SG Tushar Mehta: I have prepared an affidavit. But today I'm before the Constitution Bench. Can we have this next week? Continuing our assurance.

Sr Adv Dushyant Dave: Not in agreement,so many adjournments. Their assurance does not help us at all.

Dave: Very important case...socially & economically backward community before SC here. We don't need a rejoinder, reply will suffice.

Bench discusses with SG Mehta about next date. SG: Next Tuesday...or 9?

Dave: Another adjournment and vacation will start.
