Justice Kant: We will constitute a committee in the interregnum headed by former High Court judge..

ASG Nataraj: Keeping entire Ordinance in abeyance, for the purpose of ratifying and all..

SC: Ratification and all you can do..

SC: At this stage, the ASG has pointed out that some parallel proceedings, purportedly filed in public interest, are being taken up by the High Court in which an amicus was appointed and the judge has passed an order. As per an order of July 21, the judge has questioned the passing of the ordinance and made certain observations. With a view to prevent parallel proceedings, the observations made by the judge shall be stayed.
